harpersfriends.com is built to be as real time as possible using some really neat tools. I am using Django App Engine Patch on Google App Engine for the application. The application is fed by a Pubsubhubbub hub ran by Superfeedr.com.
Superfeedr.com handles all the feed polling and when there is an update, notifies the pubsubhubbub hub which then pushes the content to app engine. It is awesome. NO POLLING (well superfeedr does - but not us )
If you would like to know more about this set up - email harper@nata2.org.
