Success Stories for Flash Sockets?

Youtube is the cannonical success story for Flash Video. I'm wondering, where is the big consumer success story for Flash Sockets?

I had long assumed that cool web chat applications like Meebo and GMail-Embedded-GTalk used Flash sockets. But on closer investigation both of them are using COMET.

What gives? What are some examples of massive scale webapps that use sockets? And please, no custom-built inside-the-firewall type app stuff. I want to know about popular consumer webapps that leverage Flash sockets.

Take a look at finetune.com . It's a possible candidate, but I'm not sure.
