We raised a seed round with Cuban and Betaworks

Congrats!

I'll admit to not knowing much about the various usages of XMPP, outside of Jabber. Is this any different than turning text messages on for Twitter, where people I'm following == feeds and texts == jabber messages? Or is there something else cool about this that I'm not getting?

I think sprsquish pretty much answered that. We're "content-agnostic" as long as they're feeds. You subscribe to a feed (and that could be a twitter feed and you receive notifications), however, please not that we're an API service, so not for "consumers" directly. Check http://notifixlite.appspot.com/ for that!

Isn't RSS itself a push? Or you're just changing protocols?

Sorry for being such a n00b...

Nope, RSS isn't push. RSS us just a common way of "formatting" the information, but it stays where it is :) If you (or your reader) don't poll it, you'll never see new items.

Superfeedr has an XMPP API that allows you to subscribe to updates on a blog or really anything with an RSS or Atom feed. It'll provide push notifications when your subscriptions update.
