I was initially put off by socketstream because I didn't want to hack together some prewritten authentication with my own. I thought socket stream cam prebundled with full authentication because of the line here:

"In-built User model - with modular internal authentication (authentication with external services e.g. Facebook Connect coming soon)"

This is misleading, because from what I have found in my few hours of research, socket stream does not have a user model. It has authentication and sessions which are obviously for users, but it doesn't include a "user model" (properties and methods for a user).

The above makes me believe that socketstream has already defined a user model for me (say, username, email address, etc) and has already worked it into authentication and sessions.

It should probably read something like "easy sessions and authentication for users, with support for facebook connect and more coming soon."
