I just saw this blogpost from Scott Hanselman yesterday. It looks very promising.

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/AsynchronousScalableWebApplicationsWithRealtimePersistentLongrunningConnectionsWithSignalR.aspx

It features an opensource product called SignalR which is available through nuget.

You can find an example chat application in the sources @ github
