In a word: awesome! It will be great to avoid so many HTTP polls or whatever.

But here is my cunning new idea... create an object which sets itself up as an HTTP server, and puts its own URL as the parcel's media URL. It then listens for text coming in via chat, and outputs that text in response to incoming HTTP requests. Voila! Mini-word processor for Second Life!

I have no idea if this will work... I guess I'll need to wait until the functions go officially 'live' before I find out. It'll be really cool if it does though!
