I need to develop a small app like Facebook or Google+ where user can post and comment and do some more functionality like these. Now I do some search and i am confuse that should i had to use sockets for communication(between server and device) because there i need to show like post on other devices as soon as they are posted by any user on server form web or any other device.
I think sockets are bidirectional and have a permanent connection so it will be fast and less hasty to work on it. Can any one can share his experience and guidlines. we will use php on server and need to develop it for iphone and android in native language. Thanks in advance.
