I can almost picture how this started. Zuck: "I'm tired of having to leave facebook to read my emails. Make them show up in my message feed. In fact, do that for everyone. I don't care how, just take their username and add facebook.com to the end."

And this, everyone, is why Craig's most brilliant move is to not allow integration. The only way anyone beats them is to "also have that too." In this case, "that" being the craigslist user base.

Those phidget boards are pretty great. I bought some flashing lights from woot that we had kick on via the USB phidget interface anytime our pingdom checks failed. Now everyone hates the yellow lights :)

This is great. Just literally gave up searching CL for a new car after ten minutes of click/back/click/back and saw this here. Timing couldn't be better, and it's quite intuitive.

Isn't there a bit of a huge problem using the number for sale as the metric here? Couldn't more supply equate to less demand?

One thing that bothered me about instant, and will probably annoy me about this, was when using chrome to test REST api's. Hitting my local development server in debug mode with half constructed URL's used to drive me crazy. In general for surfing around - I think the feature is great, but I would love to be able to exclude a given site from pre-fetch/instant.
