+The web app is able to send a message (i.e. the notification) to a specific user using a '''routing key''' that was given to it by the user's client. The routing key can be thought of as an address that specifies the destination "mailbox" of the message. It maintains the user's anonymity while still allowing the service to communicate with the user. The process from the web app's point of view is as follows:
-# Web app creates a JSON string encompassing the notification it wishes to send (as well as which user to send it to)
+# Web app creates a message it wishes to send
-# Web app sends the JSON string to the notification server.
+# Web app sends the message to the notification server.
