What exactly is a Data Push?

Data pushes happening every 1- days?

Does anyone know exactly what a "data push" is? Matt Cutts has been using it quite a lot recently but not entirely sure what he is refering to... Would be very grateful if someone could enlighten me!
Thanks!

Data push, a transfer of data controlled by the sender.

and its evil twin:

Data pull, a transfer of data controlled by the receiver.

I prefer data pop instead of data pull, as it allows a mere programmer to better understand the terms and relationships.

Oh and I have some swamp land with a nice big bridge on it ;-).

I think he means that data collected by various google data collectors, i.e. robots, spiders , human reviewers, now analysed gets added into the ranking algorithm data resources

So , not an algo update, simply a data update

a few new lines in their favourite data bases

anyone kow what google uses, ms sql, mysql, ibm rdbms, oracle, google rdbms :-)

[PhattusCattus]

they have their own custom programmed dbs

Has google ever formally commented on the dbms they use?
