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 :)
