First I've heard of it, was just browsing the BOL at and around

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms166049.aspx

and don't quite have the picture yet.

Is there a better overview available online?

Thanks!

service broker is a async messaging (queue) subsystem for sqlserver. you use
when you want to perform work asynchronously. sp's can listen on a queue and
receive work requests, as multilple sqlservers can access the same queue,
you can farm out work.
