The dribblers update as they have material, the chunkers queue up a bunch of stuff and put it out regularly. The two that came to mind were Nerve and Scarlet Letters, respectively. Actually, both of these have direct analogs in print, and it's because one is a pull medium and one is a push. Monthly magazines are push, once you subscribe, you keep getting it. Newspapers are pull, some people subscribe, but many buy on the street or in the coffee shops, so there has to be something new with the frequency that they're looking for it otherwise the customers will forget that it's there, or lose the brand loyalty. We should not forget that the web is a pull medium.
