Great post. Would also be interested in seeing a breakdown of school strength across the referrals. And did you count Stanford as Ivy League? :)

What about Google building this into the Chrome app?

When you launch the app for the first time, it could ask "Do you want to open URLs in Chrome by default in Chrome-enabled apps?", and make it possible to change this in Chrome's settings menu.

This setting could then be stored in a UIPasteboard named something like com.google.chrome.default, and apps that want to implement the functionality suggested in the original post would just look in this pasteboard for the current setting.

This is great. Especially with services like Parse out there, I could see how a sufficiently motivated/creative person could start from zero programming experience and become a skilled iOS developer in the course of a summer.

btw, meraki injects their own search box at the top of all html pages when you use their wifi. didn't see that mentioned anywhere in the article...

Fake meaning what? Doostang is just a ridiculous name regardless, but it might have served Google well to see if 'googe' had any other connotations (whether or not they're in Merriam/Webster) before putting it in a logo.

Yeah, S3 has been great for Jamglue -- we use it for both media storage and streaming. You can't beat the price, it's been reliable enough, and we've saved a lot of time by not having to worry about redundancy and scaling.
