I am working on personal messaging features for my site, is there a way to get push notifications from the server that the user has received a new message?
The only method I know is to constantly poll the server via ajax to see if there are any new messages and, if necessary, reload the messaging window.
Thanks for any feedback!
UPD: the following areas have so far been identified:
1) Comet
2) BOSH - Bidirectional streams through synchronous HTTP
3) XMPP - this is what google talk says on
