MacRumors had them all beat.
- adduc 18y agoLogged in just to upmod you. They were on Twitter, Plurk, IRC, not to mention their site showed no bit of the load they were carrying.
- tlrobinson 18y agoMacRumors was smart about it. They had JavaScript that would poll for updates once a minute, and a little spinny thing to make the users think it was constantly updating. Far less load than having users refresh the entire page every 5 seconds.
- danw 18y agoWould have been nice to try comet out in that situation, it seems like a more appropriate technology
- tlrobinson 18y agoComet is neat, but in broadcast situations like this it doesn't really matter if there's a delay, just like it doesn't matter that there's a 10 second delay for radio listeners.
