About JiTT

JiTT is a developers playground. This project was not created for its features but for the way the are implemented. This project is a possiblity to use various often new technics to get to know them and use them on other projects.

JiTT uses the Ajax Push Engine of the APE-Project. This combination of a comet server and a little javascript framework provides a possibility to create persitent connections between client (browser) and server.
Data send via this connection is directly displayed in the browser. There is no need to permanently poll the server to ask for updated data.

Of course there a lots of other live twitter pages on the net and JiTT does not offer any features that you haven't seen before. Twitter was chosen as datasource for two reasons: At first it offers a nice API and at second it provides enough data to to feed the live-ticker on the first page with stream-like data.
