I'm not seeing anything happen... just a map, and a bunch of xhr-polling requests (I'm assuming from socket.io)... - using firefox 13 on Win7

Try again.

Hey that's pretty neat. Would be cool to style it up so it's beautiful.

This is almost addictive to watch. Very impressive!

Something is broken, at least for me. It always resorts to XHR-polling instead of websockets.

Always returns xhr-polling method which really isn't ideal for this.

It's not broken. Heroku free plan doesn't allow for websockets. The demo code on https://github.com/danzajdband/Tuiter/tree/master/examples/m... it's prepared to use webosockets first.

Ah, well that sucks but explains why it was occurring :)
