"Data In Your Face": Push Technology in Perspective

Summary: Push vs. pull in Web data management; survey of 1990s push systems (newspapers, email, Teletext, PointCast) and the hype around them. Focus on core issues—loss of user control, irrelevant data, weak interest prediction, and abuse—plus social, economic, and technical deployment challenges for push architectures.
