I saw the Ginger video demo, where is any real-time functionality needed?

  There were real time discussion updates in the video

  As the product evolved, the real-time needs (surprisingly) became less than we originally expected. I think this will change as we continue to evolve. That being said, after the initial page load, almost everything happens without a page refresh or full page load. You see new messages (with favicon notification), votes, unread counts, etc. all in real-time. I think Ginger would feel a lot klunkier without the real-time bits.
