I think a major reason is still probably customer confidentiality. They've got to play it on the defensive.
Note: WP = Washington Post, not WordPress.

Confused me there for a second.

The "MagicType" feature is actually very standard in the online customer service industry. If you've ever talked with Apple customer service, they could see what you were typing as you were typing it.
I think it's neat that they're all collected in one unified place. But if you look at the actual CSS behind the buttons [1] you'll realize it's not actually that "impressive," but rather something that anyone could implement. It's just basic CSS animation.

Would love any feedback from the HN community. Thank you. :)

On a somewhat related note, has anyone on here successfully mastered the art of speed reading? I'm a CS student at Uni right now, and compared to non-Engineer students, I've noticed I tend to read must slower. Any tips on up-ing my read speed?
