i'm pretty sure it is already pretty compact

a lot of http requests...

says thats what you get for being plurk - constant refreshes and updates to your page.

i mean one of those yahoo advices on speeding up web apps?

and uh comet?

the http requests made to plurk are pretty light weight. if you inspect what gets sent and received, they are only what is necessary.

the js code is then used to parse the response and put it on the timeline

ryan, i think he's talking about the JS script link, instead of the ajax polling.

yep. i've "analyzed" it already hahaha

ohhh ok

anyway, we've looked at those JS libs out there before we started coding. for the combination of various reasons,

footprint is one thing. mootools and jquery started off with 20kb before you even start coding.

i'm sure. but it really depends on what you mean by feature.

it all comes down to using the best tool for the project.

i see...
