Introducing Web Sockets: Bringing Sockets to the Web

This is the most useful HTML5 feature for me yet. I used it for the web interface for the telepresence robot I and my friend built. Can't wait to try out iOS Safari's accelerometer support.

Seriously... it's 2010 and simple 2 way persistent communication seems like a hack on top of a cludge... I blame the browsers.

"Bringing Sockets to the Web" the title is a "bit" misleading.
