Because I like to think I'm helping somehow in the search.
2. What are your views about the project?
It was a great idea when it was first made as a screen saver and the new version is quite cool... Although it doesn't seem to be generating the graphs on the statistics tab of my daily average or total as I had expected. Which is kind of a bummer. In fact the user info seems to be blanked out even on the graphics display of the work in progress. Too bad, as I always liked seeing that on the old version.
3. Any suggestions?
I don't like the "user key" idea so much. I prefer the informality of the old username concept.
