It's simple in the email area: you subscribe to a list, when there's a
new message on a list that you subscribed to, it gets sent to you.

It's similar in other areas: you subscribe to a stockmarket server,
specifying which events you're interested in (trades in AAPL, price of
IBM reaching a limit, etc.) and when something like that happens, you
get a message.

The publisher has to have a list of subscribers and what they're
subscribed to, and be able to calculate who gets what message quickly
enough.

kdb comes with pubsubdemo.
