It's disappointing to me to see them choose regular HTTP for communication. I think XMPP PubSub or just regular XMPP messages would work better, and you could use the existing federated jabber networks. With this, they are probably going to run into NAT traversal issues, etc.

But yeah, xmpp might have been the better choice. Google certainly thinks so. Protocol is all they have to get really right out of the gate.
