That wasn't the point. And I actually played a version of the tambur as a kid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamburica
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.
Besides, looking through the first two pages of those results, most are people's last names.

Two and a half million results doesn't make this word very common at all. Even "frolicking" returns twice that. Besides, looking through the first two pages of those results, most are people's last names.

And now I'm very intrigued if there's a database of all or most english words ranked by their frequency. Something like the full Oxford English Dictionary, but with frequency ranks.
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-…
Well it's won you one customer here at least. I'm really sick of companies charging extra for security.
Looks nice, but what's the difference between Tambur.io and: • http://www.buddy.com/ • http://js.dotcloud.com/ • https://cloudmine.me/ • http://backlift.github.com/docs/ • http://www.meteor.com/main • https://parse.com/about/index • http://derbyjs.com/ • http://www.kinvey.com/ • http://www.stackmob.com/ • http://www.appcelerator.com/cloud • http://pusher.com/ • http://www.firebase.com/ • http://www.pubnub.com/ • http…

This is an important question I think should be answered

Another alternative if someone is looking for hosted SSL on a free plan would be Buddy http://www.buddy.com/pricing/, free for the first half million API calls with unlimited applications. Pretty steep at $250/mo for 500,001-10MM calls.

Thank you, both of you, for such a relevant and intellectually stimulating discussion.
