I'm looking to create a chat type website which does not refresh to load to content.

Would Comet be a better idea than regular ajax for this type of appication? http://ajaxian.com/archives/comet-a-new-approach-to-ajax-applications

Thanks in advance for your input

I use a meebo widget for chat - it recently served well when 10 people were put on alert for a phone conference and the organizer called each one individually - it gave us a place to hang and gossip

personally, I am waiting for the Mr. Clean version
