Isn't this Apples job?

This service has become such a joke.

People paid for a Twitter clone and just got a confused mess of hand wavy nonsense about being a general purpose pipe for applications.

You don't really get a choice about lock in, however you do get to choose if you want your actions, searches, communications and location harvested to build an advertising profile or not.

Typical Mozilla nonsense

Probably Digg seen as their reader missed the boat a bit

Honestly don't get why people can't just use CSS for something like this.

Talk about over-engineering

Looking forward to the open source desktop versions of this kind of tech.

A low quality article on the Gawker network? Surely not!
