Today is the one year anniversary of my joining Vox. A year ago I was still doing IT contracting for Kimpton Hotels, job hunting and feeling a bit discouraged about it all. Then one morning I got to work quite early (we were doing a "swarm" which entails upgrading every single machine in a hotel) and saw the Vox alpha-test email, I was really excited–it was like the Comet alpha-test was my golden ticket to a new and special world. I didn't have time to act on the email since I was on the clock, but I did later that night and got in the next day. Being only semi-employed and eager for some distraction, I soon devoted myself to Voxing, testing it as intensively as I would had it actually been my job.

Recently some people have started using the term Comet to describe a new style of AJAX development, in which data is pushed to the client instead of being pulled (polled) by the web app.

Will this cause confusion if Comet ends up being the shipping name of SixApart's product? As seems likely since that's the name you guys have been using publicly for it.
