I can see it being awesome under some circumstances and a nightmare under others - as a low-bandwidth user (mostly) I really don't want my browser to phone home more than necessary, so I'd like it to be opt-in with a 'check every...' option (every hour would work for me; every minute would be a nightmare.)
On the third hand, a feature in, say, the navigation strip that would allow me to decide whether to refresh would be awesome - if I click a button, see I have three new articles on my rlist, I'll ignore them, if it's 20, I'd refresh.
Yes, there are times when my connection is THAT slow. Not happy - this *is* the upgrade - but it's the best I have to work with much of the time.
