How about keeping the connection open for a minute, then reopen it?

Services like Gtalk (http://mail.google.com/mail/help/chat.html),
Interaction (http://www.interactionchat.com/) and Meebo
(http://www.meebo.com/) use an open-connection and this allows
reception of new messages instantly without the need of a Java applet
or a Flash application. There's gotta be a way...
