Actually, someone recommended Jeff Kreeftmeijer's work, when I was working on this (an old colleague). I liked the way he did this, so yes... his work was very inspiring.
But most of my inspiration on how to do this came from the Node.JS knockout. Those guys are really awesome.
I used Node.JS, ExpressJS, Socket.IO and CouchDB (I should have used redis actually, but these things were familiar to me). I'm not trying to prove this is the newest, most greatest thing. I'm trying to get an internship at Valve.
There is no doubt that this is very similar to Jeffs blog post, and although it takes the idea a step further, I do think you should at least add a link to any and all code which inspired you and which you took ideas from, if it be Jeffs previous post, or a Node Knockout project.
Best of luck with getting Valves attention, and you have my pointers vote :)
Could not agree more with cookiestack. The inspiration is quite clear and not giving any credit to what influenced your work is somewhat surprising. Especially given the fact that this is supposed to be a job application.

I'm also working on something similar for a while now, check http://screenr.com/DDk
