It took me about 5 minutes to setup Pusher and for that I get private channels, presence, someone to handle the scaling etc... as djb_hackernews already mentioned.
We outsource DNS, email, hosting infrastructure, anything I possibly can which isn't core to the product itself. The other side of the coin is that you now depend on dozen of external services that could go out of business one day or another.
Note that I'm not saying that what you're doing is wrong, but that everything should be pondered |

I know the Pusher guys personally, so I'm confident they'll be around for the foreseeable future and I've integrated it into our code base in such a way that moving to someone else, or using our own server would be trivial.
It's something which needs to be evaluated on a case by case basis, I'm happy that all the components we outsource are both trivial to replace/insource and solid businesses who will be here for some time.
