They were at Maker Faire. I think they're pretty neat. They have a free<br>
"cost" option. They're interested in doing a Noisebridge-specific<br>
subsite as an experiment in how they could build subdomains specific to<br>
communities or orgs.<br>
<br>
I think this is very cool.<br>
<br>
They've offered to bring pizza and beer and talk with us about our<br>
needs/wants; ie: anonymous "renters", api-downloadable data, etc?<br>
<br>
I think it'd be cool to encourage a company like this to build/provide<br>
an anonymous option for their product, too, even if other orgs generally<br>
wouldn't use it.<br>
<br>
hysteria and company-bashing may now commence but I'm gonna try to<br>
ignore it. I wasn't going to bring this up until I had more experience<br>
with their site, but it seems relevant right now.<br>

Utterly tangental, does anyone know from where it might be fully legally<br>
allowable to do: "* Book search returns results with descriptions and a<br>
cover scraped from some other part of the internet." I suspect there are<br>
legal sources, I just don't know what they are.<br>
