Thanks for featuring my app! A couple of quick notes:

1. I added support for Amazon.ca and Amazon.co.uk last week, I’m working on BestBuy.com right now - what would folks like to see after that?

2. I’ve been thinking about writing a plugin for IE - is it worth it? (I’ve done them before, they’re a bit of a pain.)

3. I bought buylatr.com last week, going to move the site over there soon, but I’ll have to redo the logo and take out the ‘e’.

4. Upfront disclosure - the outbound links have my affiliate code in them, so amazon might (someday) pay me a referral fee. It doesn’t cost the users anything, but I like to be upfront about that.

Thanks again,

Joshua McKenty
