Comet Daily
cometdaily.com · Group blog · on HN since 2007
Comet Daily covered Comet, WebSockets and other techniques for pushing real-time data from servers to browsers, with posts on Erlang and scalability.
What HN saysHN commenters link it for Comet-on-Erlang and performance write-ups, and one points to its post on real-life framework performance because a benchmark was misleading.

Have you had any problems using this in production? My understanding with using Flash/Java is that all traffic has to be tunneled through port 80 to not interfere with proxy servers. Even then sometimes traffic that doesn't look like HTTP can be blocked. Has this been a problem for you?

There was a nice write up on Erlang based Comet apps here: http://cometdaily.com/2007/12/14/getting-started-with-comet-on-erlang/
Has anybody tried comet using Yaws?

The benchmark is very misleading as it's very cheap to open connections, especially when using non-blocking IO...
A good post about real-life performance of different comet frameworks:
