I'm using PSHB in my app for a different reason than blogging. I'm using my published feed to display updated contact details data in real time. (ie, a person updates their contact details, and I want my administrators to see the updated data on the page without having to refresh). I've had success publishing and subscribing to my feed, but I'm actually stumped on how to deliver my 'fat-ping' to the screen that my user is looking at.

I've had no luck searching for this online, and was hoping you might be able to offer some advice. I'm no javascript expert, but I'm surprised there's no examples of this out there.

I think the process of subscribing and receiving the callbacks is great, however when the hub sends a 'payload' to my server, what is the best way to immediately present that on the screen (in the browser window) to the user? The only thing I can think of is having a polling javascript function that checks if there's new data, but this defeats the purpose doesn't it?

Hope someone's got some ideas.

now google puts pubsubhubbub in my rss.xml every time I post… and the links break when I include them in a website
