Can mibbit do realtime collaboration ? Actually the one I need is web based group chat and realtime collaboration, so other than chat the group can do realtime collaboration too.

I search and found Ajax Push Engine, is it belong to Comet ? The exactly technology that I need is group chat or realtime collaboration, does this technology serve well ?

Sorry for the lack of information, but the engine I'm looking for is web-based and able to do group chat or real time collaboration, and assume the engine can communicate with Ruby On Rails.

PubSubHubBub

I'm trying to implement real time chat engine with PubSubHubBub as the core in Rails. My question is what I need to do to or read to achieve this task ? Where I'm gonna start ? What knowledge do I need to know first because I'm really really newbie in this field and like to play with it... or are they any realtime chat engine that is fully compatible with Rails other than pshb ?

Re:Can you recommend some good RoR books? on Monday August 24, 2009 @08:01AM (#781932)
I suggest you read http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html then I recommend sitepoint Patrick Lenz - Simply Rails, although it is outdated (rails 2.0.2) but it have a solid simply background on rails knowledge.
