> I think that real-time webpages has been one feature that every techie thinks is really cool and just around the corner, but the general public just finds annoying. Ain't that the truth. Granted, I still think it - like many features - are great in concept, but very difficult to get "right". It's really hard to beat static pages for simplicity. Nothing is changing on the user, the scroll bar isn't jumping around in size, they know exactly where they left off, etc etc.
