Didn't we call websites that update without a manual page reload "AJAX" just a few minutes ago? And yes, even if there's no XML present, but at least it's an abuse of a pretty new, web-specific term.

I propose we call all that stuff "FEFYOM" (Fast Enough For You Old Man) from now on.

AJAX is where you click on something and then the page updates. Comet is where the page updates without the user having to initiate anything.

Fascinating...so wrapping an Ajax call inside a window.setInterval automatically switches it to "Comet"?

If I ever write a manga with cute girls travelling the galaxy in a super-fancy ship, I'm going to name the ship the "Fefyom."
