Polling
Automatic delivery or notification of new information.
Subscription
Two ways to subscribe to a blog, Twitter stream or any other stream of events
New items are periodically downloaded to your RSS reader.
You receive an email whenever a new item is posted.
Installed vs. browser-based RSS readers
A program you install on your computer
A program that is downloaded by your Web client when you visit the Google Reader Web site
I use both
Podcasts with audio or video enclosures
Text based material like blog posts, tweets, and calendar notifications
Update frequency
Juice checks feeds when you click the Check All command
Google Reader checks your subscription feeds about once an hour
National Public Radio
IT Conversations
TWIT TV
Many other directories and aggregators
