Re: proposed merger of push media and push technology, it is suggested that a better structure is to merge both into a new topic called "push distribution"
This would coordinate with the digital distribution article, and can have sections on the media aspects and the technology aspects, without making one subordinate to the other. Rreisman 15:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This wikipedia article is trash.
You can help by rewriting it from scratch.
Seriously, epic legends of the small group of heroes who scavenged RSS from the ruins of PointCast? Excuse me, I seem to have come to the wrong place. Could you perhaps give me directions to the encyclopedia I heard was around here? 88.112.2.159 08:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've turned it into a stub again, as it was full of uncited claims, original research, and unencyclopedic prose. Too bad, I was hoping to read a bit more about the story of Push. Perhaps some day someone knowledgeable will write it.--Eloquence* 08:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This article is no longer trash / Podcasting
I'd say this article is not trash and should not be merged with push media. It is focused on what the term really meant and was the buzz in the mid 90s.. PointCast and Marimba and Channels. The hype pretty much ended with the arrival of IE4, which had an RSS-like functionality built-in. You should be able to find dozens of magazines from that time headlining about push technology. It has pretty much nothing to do with media streaming and RSS has indeed taken that place, even if technologically in a very inferior way. Considering this history, what the hell does Podcasting have to do with this? Removing this box from the article:

"Push" is a general concept and applies to non-web technology, such as SMTP. -- Beland 20:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
