I have been hearing all kinds of talk about web 2.0 being ‘push’ technology. But it’s not. And for the sake of clarity, Blogging and Web 2/3.0 is not PUSH! Back in the old Web 1.0 day’s you could do the same thing as web 2.0 except that with the old HTML pages the ‘posting’ date was available as a file creation date, and there were plenty of tools around to check for ‘refreshed’ html pages. Which is more or less what RSS and Atom do, check for refreshes of posts.
Web 2.0 is not Push!.
