This idea strikes me as a classic hacker's toy: technically good, but not sold well at all to the average consumer (aka "the world").

Why not repackage it as a way to find out when and how your favorite sites update? Like a really simplified RSS reader (either a desktop app or web app) that uses the current technology to let you know when things have changed on arbitrary websites. I could see a lot of people being interested in something like that who have no clue what RSS is.




Good point.
