What is the best way to push data to a client in real time? I am working on a test website with the new html5 history API when I ran into this conundrum.
I am using the twitter API to make real time search for learning purposes, but
So I understand that you could essentially submit a form over and over again, spamming PHP endlessly, but that doesn't seem like a good solution.
What is the best way to get data as data is created? (with jQuery, preferably)
Thanks, David
