It's pretty much inevitable that someone, somewhere will find a way around just about any barriers placed on pretty much any technology. The real question is how the technology providers will respond to their system being hacked. Some embrace it and succeed, others try to stop it and generally only create animosity among their users and never really manage to block it anyway.

Yes, we're almost done with a platform a lot better than Open Socket. Leave a comment on my Mashable page if interested.

Glad you find OpenSocket interesting. It's only really an academic exercise right now, and we're perfectly happy to respond to any concerns from Facebook or Google. For that reason, we have not released the source code for the time being.

If it's designed to 'say' anything to the big boys, it's only that the possibilities of techology will prevail in the end...! I'm sure all players are smart enough not to try to restrict their technology artificially for commercial reasons.

Our main driver at the moment is in ensuring the success of more generic open source projects. It is important that containers and apps are built consistently going forward. More details of these projects (under Apache most likely) will emerge soon!
