Well, I can certainly see the usefulness. I just had a need this past week, but don't mind running my own Node instance. Here's sseries-of-tubes, a Nodejs library I wrote to turn any Express/Connect route (or anything you can poll) into a Server Sent Events stream:

Pretty fast for you guys to turn it into a service already. What are you using on the backend? Node makes it really easy.

Appbase uses Pushpin (https://github.com/fanout/pushpin) to handle streaming.
