YouJS uses the excellent socket.io library.

var httpServer = require('http').createServer(function(req, response){ /* Serve your static files */ })
httpServer.listen(8080);

var youjs = require("youjs");
var you = new youjs(httpServer);
var everyone = you.everyone;

everyone.you.logStuff = function(msg){
    console.log(msg);
}

2. On the client

<script type="text/javascript" src="/youjs/you.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  you.ready(function(){
    // "Hello World!" will print on server
    you.logStuff("Hello World!");
  });
</script>
