Queue v. Topic

[sparky2708 <da...@columbia.edu>]

I have looked around on google but can't find anything (despite looking at a
number of posts now) that helps me clarify the difference between a queue
and a topic. The more I read about them the more it sounds like the same
thing. Everyone keeps saying that many subscribers can subscribe to a topic,
why not a queue? Can someone please clarify the difference?
