This isn't impressive. [MQTT][1] is a much better protocol, and an open standard. It's a pub/sub that runs over TCP with variants that run over UDP & TLS. There's only a 2+ byte overhead, so it's very light. It's ideal for mobile devices because it has a QoS system built-in, so the developer doesn't have to think through the problem of missing messages where cell service is sub-optimal. MQTT is even resource-based, so it fits well with REST. I wish more people would start using MQTT instead of these crazy hacks like REST Hooks. [1]: http://mqtt.org/ http://mqtt.org/
