How does twitter implement the asynchronous notifications for new tweets ?
If it is a form of server push technology, does any one know or suggest how this feature could have been implemented ?
Thanks
They don’t push. They use the window.setTimeout JavaScript function to periodically poll the Server through AJAX, and if there are new results then they display that notification bar.
