Socket IO is definitely an active project, the last commit was 9 days ago today.

Yes, it's picking back up now, but for a while it languished (half of 2013 with no commits, for example).

Also, check out the number of issues, some of which are pretty significant (although there are tons of ridiculous ones there, too). But if they're catching up -- and they appear to be -- that's great. It's a great project.
