Great to see this... I've been using libPusher, but it's specific to the Pusher service (which is actually pretty great).

Perhaps libPusher can just start using SocketRocket as a dependency and wrap it in Pusher-specific goodness...

This would be cool. We've been experimenting with uses for WebSockets. One of them is mocking push notifications in the simulator. The other is basically implementing a pusher-like service with a pub-sub model.

Pusher-like service implementations are very easy, I know, I've built one[1] and there are others[2]!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Rad! Somebody pointed out slanger to me previously, but I was unaware of PushPlay. Thanks!
