The document discusses PubSubHubbub (PuSH), a publish-subscribe protocol that allows web resources to push updates to subscribers. It describes how PuSH solves problems with traditional polling approaches by using hubs to distribute notifications from publishers to subscribers. Key points covered include how publishers notify hubs of updates, how hubs verify subscriber requests and forward updates, and examples of PuSH support in WordPress, Feedburner, Blogger, Drupal and other systems.
