How does this work in the case of namespace collision? Will we have squatters on the uri schemes?

I think doing all-hands support in a way that's efficient (not taking too much out of engineer's time) and scalable requires a well-designed system to support it. Quizlet, where I've worked before, does a good job of this. See: http://quizlet.com/inside-quizlet/quizlets-incredible-feedba...

Love the contact page [1] of this website. What are some other effective filters?

Very cool. However, no audio for folks outside U.S. (due to Rdio). Would be nice to have a small warning if this is this case, so users aren't left wondering if something is broken.

Besides Apple, I see Readmill [1] as another serious competitor. It provides the social integration on top of an ebook reader. However it's lacking in its catalog selection.

I wonder what this means for http://filepicker.io
It's validation of the market but they're not part of the deal.

I feel that it's mostly the American mentality of civil liberties. CCTV's are ubiquitous not just in UK but also in Japan, China, Taiwan, etc
