Rssguard: Feed reader now also with XMPP pubsub support - SLRPNK

RSS Guard includes basic support for the XMPP PubSub protocol, allowing it to fetch real-time ATOM entries.

What does this allow to do? What’d be a use-case? Does that add something over other feed readers that’d be advantageous?

Basically it allows reading blogs and such made with Movim and similar XMPP based blogging platforms.

Is there any good explanation about what PubSub is and what I can do with it?

I could read the XEPs, of course, but I’d prefer seeing what it can do over finding use-cases by reading specs.

It is many things. Basically a way to store some XML documents on the xmpp server and allow subscription to them. It is used for a lot of background stuff in XMPP whenever you want to store some structured data on the server.
