Totally agree. That's the right way to do it.

MogoChat is right now a one-man project, so supporting websockets and then polling seemed tedious, especially with something like Faye or SocketIO missing in Elixir. Phoenix Framework will soon have a high level abstraction over websockets (with Faye-like features). Once that's in, I'll be able to use it.
