Great news for local bloggers is that MyScoop the new up and coming local blog aggregator in South Africa has again beat the competition to it. Just a few days ago I wrote about PubSubHubbub that will enable real-time aggregation, and now I’m proud to say MyScoop has listened again.

MyScoop is now the first local blog aggregator that will aggregate local blogs in real time, no more waiting 20-30 minutes or logging in to you account and ping your blog for your article to be aggregated.

MyScoop has integrated the PubSubHubbub technology into their site and will now aggregate your articles in real-time. What does this mean you ask? Well to put it simply you can now get your articles submitted in real-time to the aggregator, and with MyScoop’s great SEO your articles will even rank higher faster.

How do you get access to this real-time aggregation you ask? Just follow these simple steps.

1. Register a account at MyScoop if you do not already have one, you can use your Twitter, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, OpenID or Blogger third party account if you do not wish to remember another password.
2. Your blog must either run from WordPress.com or must be a stand alone WordPress installation, WordPress.com users will not need to do anything further as their blog will already be integrated with PubSubHubbub.
3. If you have your own WordPress installation you will need to download a plugin to activate the real-time aggregation. Simply go to PubSubHubbub plugin page, download the plugin and install.
4. After installation simply activate the plugin and you should be ready to go. MyScoop will pick the plugin up in a few minutes or alternatively you can just ping your blog for the last time for MyScoop to pick up the changes.
5. You are now aggregated in real-time, enjoy!

Great new feature and thanks to Nick Duncan for staying up till wee hours of the morning to implement these changes.
