Superfeedr's goal is to be the pipe of all that data by making sure it's available in an easy way to consume for anybody and anywhere (servers or desktop apps...) As I always wanted to be very transparent, here are a few points. Whether PuSH invades the web or not I think Superfeedr will win. If not, then, well, we'll still need people to hide the "polling" behind hubs. If yes, then we want to be the "provider" for all these hubs (see our publihser approach). We're also soon releasing a set of feature for which your parallel with feedburner makes a lot of sense : analytics being the most obvious one! Both of you are right!

Take that away and you have a vitamin, not a pain-killer. That said, I think SuperFeedr can still be interesting even after every feed on the web supports PuSH. In addition to the features you listed, the data that flows through them is also valuable. I bet someone would pay to have access or control of that. A good parallel might be feedburner?

What's most interesting to me is what these services do beyond the raw interactions. For Superfeedr this is bridging feed and ping formats into Atom, XMPP, and PubSubHubbub. And there's room for much more! -Brett However, the value-add of Superfeedr goes beyond their feed-fetching capabilities.
