I will suggest trying MQTT. Facebook Messenger is built on that: https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/building-facebook-messenger/10150259350998920 .
In node-land, you can use MQTT.js (http://npm.im/mqtt) as a client, Mosca (http://npm.im/mosca) as a broker, and MOWS (http://npm.im/mows) for a mqtt-over-websocket client. There are MQTT clients for all major mobile platforms. Cheers, Matteo 2014-01-29 Anurag Prasad <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > We are looking to build a scalable Instant Messaging application.
