feedchat - chat in valid RSS format

This is inspired by the sample code of chat server from "Programming Erlang" by Joe Armstrong

Chat Server -> as the sample is
feed view -> tail -N of feed history
           or,   tail -f -N =:= friendfeed

chat server process : implemented by CouchDB
    RSS entry = document
    DB = history (w/ time stamp)

this is cheapest implementation of friendfeed


Map-Reduce (query against CouchDB) view point
    Map : crunch feed via XMPP or Pubsubhubbub...

    Reduce: tail -N of (feed history)
    Reduce: tail -f -N of (feed history)
