Does this have any special features compared to pusher, pubnub, etc.?

Maybe not important for everyone, but tambur supports SSL for all pricing plans. As pusher we are big fans of WebSockets, afaik pubnub uses some sort of long-polling for their message-handling. I am not sure if pubnub provides a way to trigger presence events. Pusher also provides these features afaik by using separate channels for e.g. presence events (not sure though). In Tambur you enable presence-events, direct- and authenticated messages on the same channel (we call them streams). So we probably have more in common with pusher than with pubnub feature-wise, we just do things a little bit differently.

  Maybe not important for everyone, but tambur supports SSL for all pricing plans Well it's won you one customer here at least. I'm really sick of companies charging extra for security.

  Tambur.io looks great. Another alternative if someone is looking for hosted SSL on a free plan would be Buddy http://www.buddy.com/pricing/ http://www.buddy.com/pricing/, free for the first half million API calls with unlimited applications. Pretty steep at $250/mo for 500,001-10MM calls.

    we didn't know about buddy.com, but it is good to see a trend towards 'security included' ;)

SSL is certainly important for a lot of apps handling sensitive data (as well as AES: http://blog.pubnub.com/pubnub-adds-cross-platform-aes-symmetric-key-encryption http://blog.pubnub.com/pubnub-adds-cross-platform-aes-symmet...). It of course has to (and does) work seamlessly with PubNub Channel Presence, Message History and other features of the real-time messaging infrastructure. The key to providing an affordable pay-as-you-go pricing plan is scale, whereby fixed costs of the globally-deployed messaging infrastructure are amortized across thousands of apps, millions of concurrent users and billions of sent and received messages: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pubnub-cloud-exceeds-1-million-133000990.html http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pubnub-cloud-exceeds-1-million....
