[–] Tyrant505 14y ago ↗ This is almost addictive to watch. Very impressive! [–] [dead] far-I 14y ago ↗ that's exactly what I was going to say! I love it. It's funny, I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and there's a tweet every 5 minutes, not even.

[–] iambot 14y ago ↗ I'm not seeing anything happen... just a map, and a bunch of xhr-polling requests (I'm assuming from socket.io)... - using firefox 13 on Win7 [–] danzajdband 14y ago ↗ Try again.
[–] timaelliott 14y ago ↗ Something is broken, at least for me. It always resorts to XHR-polling instead of websockets.http://pure-waterfall-1016.herokuapp.com/socket.io/1Always returns xhr-polling method which really isn't ideal for this. [–] danzajdband 14y ago ↗ It's not broken. Heroku free plan doesn't allow for websockets. The demo code on https://github.com/danzajdband/Tuiter/tree/master/examples/m... it's prepared to use webosockets first. [–] timaelliott 14y ago ↗ Ah, well that sucks but explains why it was occurring :)
