This is offtopic, but the main admin of a forum I've been on for the past 7 years is called Tambur. Either this is an uncanny concidence, or Hello Tambur!

A Tambur is a musical instrument. Learn to google, please.

That wasn't the point.

And I actually played a version of the tambur as a kid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamburica

Does this have any special features compared to pusher, pubnub, etc.?

Maybe not important for everyone, but tambur supports SSL for all pricing plans.

As pusher we are big fans of WebSockets, afaik pubnub uses some sort of long-polling for their message-handling. I am not sure if pubnub provides a way to trigger presence events. Pusher also provides these features afaik by using separate channels for e.g. presence events (not sure though). In Tambur you enable presence-events, direct- and authenticated messages on the same channel (we call them streams). So we probably have more in common with pusher than with pubnub feature-wise, we just do things a little bit differently.

Tambur.io started as a weekend project 10 months ago and now faces the (hackernews) crowd

It's nice to see someone using Zurb Foundation for a change ;)

haha indeed, that's the hidden reason why we switched from a first bootstrap version to foundation.

That was the point, your suggestion was that it was either an uncanny coincidence (really?) or someone you know. My contention was that as a word that returns two and a half million results on Google, it was obviously neither.
