I would like to share a new framework which I come across recently "Atmosphere". What it is? It's a one step ahead of AJAX. It provides full duplex communication in single HTTP connection. It's an extension of websockets. In AJAX we can just send a request and get single response, where as in Atmosphere a connection can be established and can share information back and forth. Typical example would be to send a real time information of your server processing to users without any wait time. It has a beautiful feature fallback. If your server doesn't support websocket then it can fall back to other transport mechanism (Server Sent Events-SSE, Longpolling).

    Is there any chat application that you can refer us to that's based on Atmosphere framework? I've came across many JS frameworks. For example, look at 'Rocket Chat' is based on 'Meteor' framework. Are the two frameworks comparable?
