I really don't understand why every simple demo of websockets makes it to the front page. Multi-player paint, multi-player piano, multi-player chord riffs... It's all just small variations on the same technology. I don't really see what valuable lesson we're supposed to take away from this when a simple websockets demo makes it to the front page again and again.

Eh, it's still a fairly new technology, it's interesting (and fun) to see what people are doing with it, what it's capable of, and so on.
