Interesting... I don't know anyone who seems to use iGoogle. I didn't think power-users would be interested.

$30 is peanuts for a productivity tool you use professionally

I really think articles like this are trite. We all know about power law distributions, 80-20 rule etc. etc. We all know they occur frequently in all kinds of systems. We don't nee…

Bookmarked...

Torrent it as a dataset for researchers perhaps? Researchers in information retrieval, data-mining and so on might be interested. Would be a cheap way to distribute it. If it has u…
