For instance, you can assure that messages sent are always received in the order they were sent (regardless of what machine they were sent on). This sort of powerful ordering allows you to do all sorts of cool stuff (such as implementing distributed databases - one of the things spread was written for). It also is nice to have reliable multicast services for managing distributed caches or doing distributed IPC (as you noted). Spread is cool. :) Seems like alot of +'s and no -'s, I will import it into PECL tomorrow.

Effectively IPC (Inter-Process communication)..
