It looks to me that this module could make great use of this technique.

It certainly does, I'm looking into it.

Thanks

After some research,

Reverse AJAX is better suited for a One-to-One communication while the aim of this module is to dispense new information to many clients. Using reverse AJAX requires a server connection and would tie up the web server.

Thanks for the suggestion, I might in the future build another module for this kind of communication.

It's been awhile since last upadtes in this thread,
I was wondering if any new works had been done on pushing data to multiple clients,
any modules that perhaps could take advantage of services like lightstreamer.com

any pointers appreciated,
