Doesn't seem to work in Firefox 4.0 (b3), which should have WebSockets...
(I think it might be a different protocol version from what Chrome supports, which is exactly the reason it sucks when browsers go out there with protocols that aren't more mature yet).

Looks like it's just a visual log of one persons' check-ins.
It's moving way too fast to be entertaining or interactive. If you slowed it down, people could zoom in for a much closer look and it would actually be a cool slideshow style display.

Hey, that's not really the purpose, but to show how simple it it to connect PubSubHubbub to Webhooks :)
On firefox 3.6.8 for linux, and I see nothing.. is that normal?
Yeah, I'm not sure 3.6.8 implements WebSockets.
probably, i had to use chrome
I thought websockets have to make a connection to your server from the same domain? How are you getting around this?
Gowalla publishes its feeds thru PubSubHubbub. I built a small node.js server that can subscribe to these feeds. Then, this exact same server is a WebSocket server. The browser open a websocket connection to the server, which then subscribes to the hub. When the server gets updates it pushes them to the browser.
