I haven't ever actually built a complete system, just messed around with it a bit, but your best bet is probably socket.io

not sure what you what the chat system to look like, but I'm loving some Firebase right now. Check out firechat.js http://runnable.com/UnBC3_CNV4lmAACO/firechat-real-time-chat-example-powered-by-firebase-for-javascript
