title: How to get Real Time updates in a Laravel App
body: <p>I'm building a web application where users can sign up, add twitters feeds that they want to follow and their stream will update as the feeds they're following receive new posts.</p>
  
  <p>My go to platform is Laravel. However, I can't think of the best way to implement the live update aspect of the site.</p>
  
  <p>I would use an AJAX function that is called periodically (every 30 seconds for example) but as the number of users increases this method as it's drawbacks.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked into HTML5 Server Side Events but IE isn't supported unfortunately.</p>
  
  <p>What would be the best way to implement this functionality within a Laravel App?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
