It uses javascript with an xmlrpc backend - which is what makes it seem so fast. Its actually making dozens of html calls each minute, so that it doesnt have to do them when you actually click.

Its brilliant, imho. I also have several gmail invites if someone needs one.

Google: What is [google]xml-rpc[/google] ?
Keith Devens has a fantastic XML-RPC library for PHP here: http://keithdevens.com/software/xmlrpc

Hope that helps.
