Tornado: Facebook's Real-Time Web Framework for Python - Facebook Developers News - http://developers.facebook.com/news...
"Real-time updates have become an important aspect of the social Web that make it easier to share with friends. In March, we introduced a real-time News Feed to make the stream as relevant and engaging as possible for users. Similarly, FriendFeed, which we recently acquired, built their entire site to support real-time updates. It hasn't been easy to build and scale these features, so today we're open-sourcing a core piece of infrastructure called Tornado, which was originally developed by the FriendFeed team." - Bret Taylor
Congrats! - Edwin Khodabakchian
the friendfeed style realtime search is great, hope these features can be brought to facebook soon - Mike Chelen
