Currently, the registry has to keep checking for new messages; it can't be notified by the writer that there are new messages. I don't know about if this software providing a web interface does that or not, although it is something that I would want to define the protocol of, which would be independent of the implementation, and would be simple to implement even to just use curl without many complicated commands. (I have no intention to use the web interface, and currently do not use twtxt at all, but if I do, I would like to have this protocol, and for other servers (maybe even this software) to support it.)<p>Of course for many things, microblogging is too short so I would use NNTP instead (which I already have set up). But many things are short and are not worth making many NNTP messages just for that, so twtxt may be helpful.
