"I set up an rssCloud server, fairly confident that it would scale to meet the demand, and with a fallback if it shouldn’t. I’m not risking anything, because we know that polling works for RSS. rssCloud is an optimization, its purpose is to make RSS faster. But if it fails RSS still works. As I wrote earlier, even though many people predicted in 1999 that RSS would never work, it’s actually never failed, there is
no RSS fail whale."
