Pusher Push Notification to Browser

Today while me and my friend was using facebook sitting side by side and he like our mutual friends status and with in 2 seconds that like information pop up in my recent friend activities … got amazed to see that and here start exploring the Rocket Science of this feature ….

Open my console and try to see that is our browser side is polling and found nothing then this ticked in mind that this is some thing like UAShip calls to smart phones (iOS, Android) so just here Mr Google help me to find service to send notification to web like device and this gives me puhser.com that is using Websocket science to implement this feature.

Well documented to test a single alert box message push to browser and really cool to have it different projects for server to update client instead of continuous polling from client side.
