GET should never modify data. I would recommend changing that to a POST before something indexes it and decides to crawl it every 5 minutes. See here for more reasons: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/705782/why-shouldnt-data-...

I realize this isn't supposed to be highly accurate, but it's something to keep in mind if it continues to grow.
