Looks like an advertorial. No mention of socket.io and praise for a commercial solution that I didn't know after almost two years working with websockets.

- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoYup. It is an advertorial. Kaazing like promoting their own "WebSocket Gateway", and they're in a great position to, owning websocket.org By the way, at the moment I'm using Python's Twisted with a simple wrapper called txWS: https://github.com/MostAwesomeDude/txWS https://github.com/MostAwesomeDude/txWS I'm not a big fan of socket.IO, seems too complex for my needs. I was quite happy to discover txWS, it's literally one more function call and you can just write ordinary Twisted code with no changes, which is a relief. Edit: I'm tempted to purchase websockets.co...
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoUpdate: I went and bought websocket.us and websockets.us, and put up my own small website about WebSockets. I just want to provide an alternative to Kaazing's site, that has no commercial focus.
- ralph 14y agoAs a link, http://websocket.us/ http://websocket.us/
- majke 14y agoShameless plug: SockJS is non-complex alternative to Socket.io, websockets polyfill.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoAdded to WebSocket.us, thanks!
- SkyMarshal 14y agoIt is in the last paragraph. I thought the 90% of the article prior to that was a pretty good neutral overview of websockets vs prior 2-way alternatives.
- seldo 14y agoWhile definitely having an agenda, I still found it a useful high-level guide.
- lbotos 14y agoTrue but some of the data looks to be "dated". According to Wikipedia, Safari, Chrome FF, and IE10 have WS support.
- SkyMarshal 14y agoMan I hate these undated Internet articles. Publishers use it to sneakily squeeze out a few extra page views from stale content. Hate it when I fall for that. Besides support in recent browsers, anything else inaccurate in it?
