Seems like this has been done before: http://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/2010/experimenting-with-node-js/
Using Node.js. The node js example even provides the code to replicate it. Is this person using node or some other websocket approach?

But most of my inspiration on how to do this came from the Node.JS knockout. Those guys are really awesome.
I'm also working on something similar for a while now, check http://screenr.com/DDk
I used Node.JS, ExpressJS, Socket.IO and CouchDB (I should have used redis actually, but these things were familiar to me). I'm not trying to prove this is the newest, most greatest thing. I'm trying to get an internship at Valve.
I really like what you have done, a nice twist on the ol' like button. And its a pretty cool looking site as well.
One thing does, well, concern me a bit, and its that you haven't given credit where credit is due (http://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/2010/experimenting-with-node-js/).
There is no doubt that this is very similar to Jeffs blog post, and although it takes the idea a step further, I do think you should at least add a link to any and all code which inspired you and which you took ideas from, if it be Jeffs previous post, or a Node Knockout project.
Best of luck with getting Valves attention, and you have my pointers vote :)
