<p><strong><a href="http://blog.friendfeed.com/2008/08/simple-update-protocol-fetch-updates.html">FriendFeed Blog: Simple Update Protocol</a></strong></p> FriendFeed infamously poll RSS feeds on the 43 services they support millions of times an hour in an effort to keep their content as real-time as possible. SUP is a new proposal by FriendFeed for a sort of “master feed” of changes to a site—instead of hitting the Flickr feed for each of their users they would just poll Flickr’s SUP feed every minute or so to find out who had uploaded a new photo, and only retrieve the RSS feed for those users. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/atom">atom</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/feeds">feeds</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/flickr">flickr</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/friendfeed">friendfeed</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/polling">polling</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/rss">rss</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sup">sup</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://code.flickr.com/blog/2008/08/25/api-responses-as-feeds/">Flickr Developer Blog: API Responses as Feeds</a></strong></p> Flickr API calls that return a “standard photos response” (e.g. flickr.photos.search and flickr.favorites.getList) can now output eight different feed formats as well, including Atom, RSS flavours, geoatom, geordf and KML.
