Very cool stuff, hopefully.

To quote the beginning of the "What about my web app?" section

  This ten step tutorial shows how a client can interact with Hookbox. 
  Adding web app integration is also trivial.

I can tell you, combining a real-time component with your existing web app framework is not trivial; hopefully Hookbox might change this. In general, a framework that eases this pain is very needed.

I experimented with these ideas with my project "Hotdot" (http://github.com/clemesha/hotdot), which is mostly a "big example", not a framework or whatever.

Hotdot uses Orbited (which was originally authored by Michael Carter, and who is also the author of Hookbox). Michael did contact me with the Hookbox project a while back, and it looks as though he has made significant progress on the project since.

The NOLOH PHP Framework includes Comet out of the box without any work or configuration. A brief video on this can be found from the Confoo Web Conference this past March, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r0FR0Dx4zE.

This includes support for streams, long-polling, and short-polling. Like everything else in NOLOH, this comes out of the box for all browsers.

A dedicated comet section will be added to noloh.com later in the summer with more examples, demos, and whitepapers.

That’s just targeted at users who plan to use Noloh and PHP to write their applications, right?
