Sockserve is a frontend API for Bitd that provides a streaming output of new transactions. Unlike Bitserve which is a similar frontend API used to fetch historical blockchain data, Sockserve can be used display data as it comes in.
For Sockserve to work you first need to go through the install process for bitd, which will continually scan the blockchain for new transactions and blocks which will be streamed live over the Bitsocket (sockserve) API.
