Server-sent events seem awesome as well. Open a connection to the server, let it stream you events, and each one generates a Javascript event.

It's hard to believe it's 2011 and there's still no standard way of sending data from a server to a browser other than ajax and comet trickery.

This sounds like a step in the right direction.

Also seems like server-sent events should be a lot easier to pass through standard load balancers and proxies than web sockets. Very cool...
