3D 4chan client

Hey I was thinking about a 4chan client in 3d. 

Please critisise this idea so that I dont try to implement it. 
Also if anyone would like to help code this you'd be much obliged.

First you decide which boards you want displayed, as an example /a/ /v/ and /prog/.
These three boards would be oriented on the insade of a cylinder, at evenly spaced angular distance.
Threads would taper down underneath boards.
Obviously threads would be favorited like the firefox extension, gaining priority(towards the top of the cylinder)

Assuming you aren't intending to make a legacy desktop application- or using the deprecated Adobe Flash technology, read on.

The 3D aspect is mostly possible with todays technology (I say mostly because IE does not and won't support canvas, and you sure as hell aren't having "threads" drawn and projected onto a cylinder in real time with excanvas). As far as the pubsub aspect of it goes (real time updating of thread information)- this isn't possible (You can't use long polling or similar technologies because every poll will essentially return immediately on something as highly trafficked as 4chan.) Although it would be possible with persistent connections- no browsers (or web servers for that matter) support web sockets; and even if they did there is no way anyone except a huge profitable corporation could sustain having every client opening a new connection every second for essentially nothing.
