Step 3: Subscribe to the PushTopic Channel

In this step, you’ll subscribe to the channel you created with the PushTopic record in the previous step.

Workbench is a free, open source, community-supported tool (see the Help page in Workbench). Salesforce provides a hosted instance of Workbench for demonstration purposes only—Salesforce recommends that you do not use this hosted instance of Workbench to access data in a production database. If you want to use Workbench for your production database, you can download, host, and configure it using your own resources.

You can download Workbench from http://code.google.com/p/forceworkbench/downloads/list.
