The Nozzl Media Real-Time Stream Widget can be embedded on a Web page with a few lines of HTML. News updates flow instantly to Web browsers using “long-poll” JavaScript and a non-blocking Web server: MochiWeb. Our keyword filter distributes the work of finding real-time results to each end-user’s computer.
