Well these guys should use node.js for their blog as well, and maybe it would not be down due to heavy HN traffic ;)

Nice stuff, thanks for the round up, this vast amount of packages coming out get out of hand or go by unnoticed easily. Got some work coming up that I may well do with node, so. Thanks.

"Websockets: Everyone uses socket.io and for good reason."

This is stated as a fact, but I really just think it is a case of this was the only choice for a long time. I'd like to know the reason, because I don't think there is a clear one here. Other than socket.io couples a ton of baked in functionality, what's the benefit of it over sock.js or just native websockets?
