Also, websockets have a much lower latency than a COMET connection. Yes, we use sampling and really did our best to have it run as smooth as possible.

I like the fact that you show a cursor,if i may ask how did you implement that without considerable amount of lag? one way i though on solving this is to sample the client mouse every 100ms(for example) record the path he traveled and each 500ms send that "recording" to the other client(s) to replay it(using animation to move the mouse smoothly),i haven't implemented that yet :)i am guessing that since you are using websockets,you are streaming the position as you get it?

Check out Jeffrey's socketio implementation (https://bitbucket.org/Jeffrey/gevent-socketio/) or Denis websocket implementation (https://bitbucket.org/denis/websocket), both build on top of Gevent. Thanks guys.

Does sitesupport require flash?

thanks
