I wish I had time to write an integration right now but I don't. Figured I would plant the seed anyways :).

Love to see this too... but beyond my timeframe / current skillset.

Node.js API framework is in working order for Drupal 7 so should be able to apply this to Drupal 7 shoutbox if someone wanted it.

For Drupal 6, things are improving for Node.js too. When will it be done? When it's done....

I've written a very similar thing to tie in with an external SQLite database (for the purposes of showing IRC chat on a website) so this seems like something I could convert to make entirely based in Drupal.

All there needs to be is some kind of trigger that nodejs listens on and then an action for after the event. The action would be an ajax_command_replace that would take the #id of the shoutbox and replace it with html of the new contents of the shoutbox.
