two options

you can change it to setInterval('updateShoutbox()', 4000) and it will run ever 4 seconds

or
you can just include another setTimeout('updateShoutbox()', 4000) in the updateShoutbox() function itself-- Just before the closing bracket-- so it will call itself every 4 seconds



function updateShoutbox(){
//send the post to shoutbox.php
$.ajax({
type: "POST", url: "shoutbox.php", data: "action=update",
complete: function(data){
loading.remove();
messageList.html(data.responseText);
}
});
setTimeout('updateShoutbox()', 4000);
}

Not sure if anyone is still interested, but I've posted a shoutbox tutorial here:
