Excellent. I'd love to see one based on Google Reader shares.

Interesting. I think that would be quite easy to do actually.... But since they already use Google's hub, what would be the point? Aggregation of that data? Well, then, we could just build a regular subscriber.

Now that I reread it I see where I made an assumption. I thought by subscribing I would be getting a firehose of updates from the wordpress or identica of all public posts not just a specific publishers posts. for the "for profit" version could the publisher part be a custom source and not rss or atom?

That would work if you there exist a feed url of _all_ the updates on identi.ca or wordpress. Luckily, there is one for Identica!

And yes, for the publisher part we actully use streams or APIs that are not necessarily feeds. The identica example is a good one, once again, as we use their XMPP stream for that purpose.
