Pusher — HTML5 WebSocket Powered Realtime Messaging Service

pusher_cloud_diagram

Pusher is a hosted API for quickly, easily and securely adding scalable realtime functionality to web and mobile apps

It’s as easy as subscribing to a channel:

var channel = pusher.subscribe('my-channel');
channel.bind('my-event', function(data) {
  alert('Received my-event with message: ' + data.message);
});

and pushing messages to it:

pusher.trigger('my-channel',
               'my-event',
               { "message": "hello world" }
);

Libs for pushing messages exist for PHP, Ruby, JS, and .Net
