COMET - the next stage of AJAX

Over the IrishDev.com Alex Russell have introduced COMET, the next stage of AJAX.
He writes while defining COMET "An old web technology is slowly being resurrected from the depths of history. Browser features that have gone untouched for years are once again being employed to bring better responsiveness to UIs. Servers are learning to cope with a new way of doing things. And I’m not talking about Ajax."
Alex further adds "New services like Jot Live and Meebo are built with a style of data transmission that is neither traditional nor Ajax. Their brand of low-latency data transfer to the browser is unique, and it is becoming ever-more common. Lacking a better term, I’ve taken to calling this style of event-driven, server-push data streaming “Comet”. It doesn’t stand for anything, and I’m not sure that it should. There is much confusion about how these techniques work, and so using pre-existing definitions and names is as likely to get as much wrong as it would get right."
Some short list of example applications that uses COMET includes:
GMail’s GTalk integration
Jot Live
Renkoo

Meebo
