  Robert Kaye did a pretty good write-up on the talk here:

  At the time we started OStatus, and to some extent when AP started, there was still a big culture of polling feeds.
  For example, feed readers would poll the same feeds hundreds of times per day, because they could never be sure when something would be posted.
  The general consensus was that this was a big mistake and that push was the right way to do it.

  @rabble and @kellan gave a really important talk at OSCON 2008 called "Beyond REST? Building Data Services with XMPP PubSub".
  They talked about how the feed-polling architecture was costing an arm and a leg for publishers with only tiny benefit to users.
  I was in the audience and it was a really important inspiration for later work.
