Either existing libraries or a discussion of how to implement it would be fine. I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't require thread blocking. I've found some solutions (like juggernaut and orbited) and was wondering what else was out there.
A:
You can try something like cramp http://m.onkey.org/2010/1/7/introducing-cramp also I have had luck running a node.js server along-side the rails server to handle long-polling and web sockets.

Can you write more about using node.js with rails? How is it setup and how do rails and node.js "talk" to each other?

One way to do this would be to use Rails database session store. Here is an example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/378376/rails-shared-sessions-with-activerecord
