  • One word: Awesome

  • It's not the same thing as COMET.

    Comet pushes data in real time from a server to a browser.

    Hubbub pushes data in real time from a server to another server.

    The two can work together. It could work like this:

    A blog (publisher) publishes new updates to a hub server (say, Feedburner). The hub distributes the new content to all subscribers (Google Reader could be a subscriber). Reader pushes the new content to your browser using Comet. (better than the video's example which used AJAX).
