This is a technology sample I'm using to experiment with some of the recent frameworks on the web stack.
Namely, Node.js, Socket.io and Redis
I've used the Cloud9 IDE, a free online IDE with GitHub integration, to edit, debug and deploy this app to Cloud Foundry, a free open source PaaS provider.
This app pools a RSS feed, stores the articles on Redis and pushes them to web client subscribers using Socket.io.
The default page (index.html) has a textbox to enter the RSS feed and a start and stop buttons.
The subscriber.html page just shows a simple list of articles with the time and title/link.
