[Live-devel] What is this technology and will it let me Facebook like stream?

[Don Gould]

Hi Jeremiah,

Yes I'd seen the his.js stuff in my Google travels too.  I wasn't able 
to make it work or understand it, quickly.  Credit to Ross's demo site, 
it worked, hence my taking the time to post.

Yes, m3u does look like it's heading in the direction I'm interested in 
too.  Feel free to ping me off list if you'd like to discuss more and 
don't want to noisy up Ross's list.
