To the devs: have you thought about using BOSH and ejabberd? That way you wouldn't have to poll for updates.

I built a little toy app that used BOSH and ejabberd to do chats - upside is you get all the extensibility of XMPP and the downside is that you have to deal with all the extensibility of XMPP. :)

Yes we tried XMPP at first but was way to complex for our needs.

We use Orbited for comet. The backend chat server is custom and based on RabbitMQ. See our protocol on https://talker.tenderapp.com/faqs/api/talker-protocol

Nice work on the protocol. Very light weight.
