Server-Sent Events experiment with Goliath

Real-Time, Geolocated Chat with Server-Sent Events, EventMachine and Goliath

This is more of a proof-of-concept, or experiment than anything. Chats are pushed to the server along with latitude and longitude obtained using HTML5 Geolocation. The chats are then pushed out to all connected clients via EventMachine::Channel. The client listens for new chats, which arrive as server-sent events, and displays an info window on the map at the specified coordinates, along with the chat message.

To run it locally, just cd to the app directory and type ruby server.rb -sv. Then, point your browser to 0.0.0.0:9000. You'll probably want to use two computers to experiment, or your mobile device.

To see it in production, head to sse-goliath.herokuapp.com

Connect to AMQP message queue

Hey there, I was really inspired by your project, and I wanted to use some of it for something I'm working on, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how to connect to AMQP and use that to publish and subscribe to, I was wondering if you could help?
