"FriendFeed's web server is a relatively simple, non-blocking web
server written in Python. The FriendFeed application is written using
a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but
with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the
non-blocking web server and tools."

It uses epoll (from Linux kernel), interesting.
