What's your idea to implement the push from the server to clients?

At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology are some ideas, yet I 
have no experience which one suits us best.

We probably
- want run over HTTP
- can have a lot of connections per server if we have a lot of users
- not so many connections per user
- do not neccessarily need message queuing if the client is off.

One idea that would be a big solution is to use XMPP via (some kind of) 
push, Apple seems to do that for their cloud notifications. That would 
be a standard which other clients (ie. desktop notification systems) 
could also make advantage of.

Ideas?
