Hi,
I am trying to broadcast a message through the Node.js service socket.io (http://socket.io/) to certain subset of all subscribers.

To be more exact, I would like to use channels that users can subscribe to, in order to efficiently push messages to a couple hundred people at the same time.

I'm not really sure if addEvent('channel_name',x) is the way to go.

I have not found anything in the docs. Any ideas?

Thanks Mat
