[Owncloud] OT: Newsapp (was: Re: CronJob System within ownCloud)

[Alessandro Cosentino]

Hi Florian,

it looks cool, but, as you said, it can't be an alternative for a cron
job on the owncloud side, since most of the feeds don't support it
yet. It's something to keep in mind for the future, though, given that
Wordpress already has a plugin for it and Google reader supports it.
I am just not clear about the difference between PuSH and http://rsscloud.org/

Thanks for sharing this.

Alessandro
