Full Publish + Subscribe Push Framework in JavaScript

This looks really, really awesome -- App Engine users have been needing something like this for a very long time. Unfortunately, Google is about to roll out their own version for free:

and a native App Engine solution called the Channel API: http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/building-real...

PubNub works everywhere and requires no setup.

Google Feed requires extra setup with a hub server called pubsubhubbub. The App Engine Channel API will mean you are stuck on Google's App Engine.

FYI, I tried to respond to your email but it bounced, hope you read this comment!

Great. Sorry about the bounce. I've read the comment and resent my email with an alternate email.

How dilbertian.

Dilbert cosmic points.

neat. looks like it uses polling + JsonP to maintain state.

tried to install trafficbeat on my site, but got a javascript error - looks like the script tags they give you to copy/paste are including files that aren't javascript.

PubNub is Comet for all web browsers. iPhone iPad worked I tried it!

I copied and pasted Traffic Beat on http://ltsun.com/

Dojo supports a lot of this for quite some time, ie.: http://docs.dojocampus.org/dojo/publish

PubNub is Networked Comet Messaging. dojo is only information within the application.

PubNub supports iPhone and iPad. Pusher does not.

http://beaconpush.com is also a similar service.

PubNub Supports Mobile Phones.
