I hope you dont mind offering a comment enlightening some folks if any like me, wondering whats the advantage of leveraging web-socket-ruby over em-websocket. Thanks!

I would generally recommend em-websocket if you implement server side :)

web-socket-ruby includes both server/client implementation. I guess em-websocket includes only server implementation. But you can use em-http-request for client side.
web-socket-ruby is based on traditional one connection one thread model. em-websocket is based on EventMachine. So the API is different. web-socket-ruby's API may be easier in some cases. But em-websocket is probably more efficient.
