Very cool! And also nice, since some people want to use socket.io without Impact to create real-time features in PBBGs! 8-)

Yep, thought I would release it for free. You know me, hate charging for anything. I would make a terrible store owner :)

Nice... this should help a lot, i've had a look at node.js and socket.io before but wasn't sure on putting the pieces togethor and plus HTML5 is required? most users are currently not using HTML5 supported browsers?

But thanks! this should help me get started!

HTML5 is not required. I do not use it in the tutorials.

Ah ok... I thought it was, must have mistaken it with the web sockets supported by HTML5 :s

ah my bad I misread. Yes but many browsers support websockets. Those using anything that don't won't be much of players anyways.

Well, the thing is that only Chrome supports WebSockets by default right now. Firefox, IE, Opera and Safari all support them, but I believe they are turned off by default. However, this seems to be changing very quickly, so I could already be wrong.

Firefox supports them out of the box. I have tested on FireFox.

Oh good! That must be a new happening, because my older version does not work out of the box without enabling them in options :)
