Real-time Web on LinkedIn
There’s some interesting discussion on the Real-time web Software and Technologies group between Phil Leggetter (ex-Caplin, now Pusher), Frank Greco (Kaazing), Alessandro Alinone (Lightstreamer) and myself. It covers some of the long running issues with terminology in the area of Comet and WebSocket etc.
Read MorePubSubHubbub vs client push technologies: What’s the difference?
I have talked about PubSubHubbub – the not quite real time web previously, but I am still seeing misleading information about PubSubHubbub being posted on the Internet.

Read MoreiPhone and iPad WebSocket support
With the release of iOS 4.2 yesterday Mobile Safari has been upgraded to support WebSocket, along with some other new features too. I have been reasonably vocal about how WebSocket isn’t the answer to everything, mainly due to browser support and the time it takes for large companies to upgrade…

Read MoreApple releases Safari 5 with HTML 5 WebSocket support
The iPhone 4 announcement obviously trumped this at WWDC 2010, but Apple have also released Safari 5. If you read about what’s new you will see lots of HTML5 stuff, including WebSocket. But as I wrote about last week, which version of HTML WebSocket? Is it the same as the…
Read MoreWhich version of HTML5 WebSocket?
I have blogged about Why we don’t need HTML5 WebSocket previously – and to recap, it’s not that we don’t need it, it’s not really that important until it is far more widespread and that is a very long way off. Anyway, Google have just announced that they have Updated…
