Honestly, much easier and more reliable via PubNub.com or such.

Sometimes it's nice to look at what's coming down the pipeline and will be standard soon. When you spend time learning compatibility workarounds, that knowledge becomes more dated by the minute.

But for production, yea.

I have not used either service. What makes PubNub.com easier and/or more reliable?

Because they fail over several different protocols transparent to you.

And much more effective than DIY. API's are much nicer than old school.

Didn't downvote, but that capability can be had without relying on an external service, and not really DIY since there are libraries (eg socket.io).
