The thing is, i think they updated it. They definitely changed it.

Couple of changes yes, especially with expanded canvas. One thing I saw was that now they're loading pngs for four quardrants for the initial state of the board. The pixel updates are still happening via their websocket service, but they have an id associated for which canvas it is on (I'm guessing that's what it is).
Also this time the number of concurrent users probably jumped up from 100k to 500k minimum, but scaling for it wouldn't be very hard with CDN and simply running more instances for websocket service.
