real-time-updates

I know there's a few questions knocking around on this topic but none quite the same.

I'm currently searching by location for all the pages relating to a particular geographic location and caching their events in a database. The problem being I have to currently loop through all the pages i'm watching frequently to check for updates.

At the moment the >10,000 Pages I'm keeping track of takes a good while to update. It would be much neater (and nicer to fb) to be notified instead of polling.

Does anyone know of a more efficient to do this?

Thanks

Ben
