Tornado
=======
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server
and and tools that power FriendFeed. 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 underlying
non-blocking infrastructure.
