It probably depends where your "comments' data is comming from and what format it's in.

thanks for your reply
I wonder if a RSS feed can do all of those wonderfully useful stuff as Facebook News Feed ??

in fact, i was wondering if it is a good idea to write all the user generated comments in a data bank, and write from data bank in the application, and keep on refreshing at a 30 second frequency??
