Ajax Push Engines (APE / Comet / Reverse Ajax)
 

Anybody doing anything cool with these technologies yet?

Google & Meebo use push engines for their chat apps. Just wondering if anyone around here is using Comet in a production environment and what their thoughts are about the technology.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about - pushing is different than your typical ajax request, because it's not a client side (pull) request. Instead, the push engines will send the requests out to web pages that are listening to a channel on the server.

APE-Project is an example of this technology.

We build a entire chat app on comet. no Flash. if you want a demo shoot me an email to jay @ objectcube.com . We are doing more with comet such as news push, sales tracking etc etc
