Marcus Turner - Pubnub.com - Instant Communications

We constantly learn about new features and websites in our class.  This is very useful as the world we live in is forever changing and is headed to more "cloud" based solutions to our everyday problems. I really appreciate the fact that every class we learn something totally new and helpful.  I currently still use the first couple websites that we learned about daily like Slickdeals and Killerstartups.

While i was strolling on Killerstartups.com last week i found that there is a new website called PubNub.com.  PubNub is a cloud based communication highway that operates on real time messaging.  This product is also called the "Internet two way radio".  They recently broke a record by having 100,000 messages processed in a single second.

They pride themselves on being the new age of messaging technology and see this form of communication as being the prime source of relaying messages. They currently have two different software programs to choose from, the free one and the the paid one.  The free software called PubNub Pro allows you to process under a million messages a month and the paid version gives you unlimited messaging for about 15 dollars a month and it is called PubNub Galaxy.

This type of start-up is what we as young people need to try to look at.  The people of PubNub identified a problem which was the need for instant messaging in large groups and they came up with a solution that properly solve the problem.

  1. This is exactly the reason I had to brush up on my cloud skills. 100,000 messages in a second is ridiculous. Im glad they offer a free version since im sure i wouldnt need more than a million messegs. 15 dollars seems pricey lol

  2. It amazes me that one site can have enough serves to allow 100,000 messages processed in a single second. There will no longer be any discrepancy on the return time on messaging or having to worry about circuits going down. The fact that it cost $15 dollars for unlimited messaging a month will be irrelevant to many students for the mere fact we do not need 1,000,000 messages in a month or will we!

  3. What an innovative idea as a solution to the problem of multi-messaging across different servers and clients through one server. What a time efficient tool expanding the capabilities of your device.
