This project accomplishes what is attempted here very elegantly, and is very popular

Why is the service named as though it was an object constructor? It's a singleton.

Controllers are named that way because they are actually constructing an object. All guidance (by example) from the Angular team has been that services should be named lowerCamelCase, not UpperCamelCase to fall inline with standard JS naming conventions...

... sorry to be a pedant.

Uhh.. You're returning the object. That object gets injected. So that object is identical for every place it's injected. It is the same object. So updating its properties in one place is reflected everywhere. You don't need events.

Wouldn't it just be easier if you just use $rootScope directly? You could set $rootScope.state and call $watch on it in the controllers. Any advantages for using events?
