Great work, I really like it! I'd suggest two minor changes:
1) Get it loading the remote Javascript asynchronously (e.g. http://friendlybit.com/js/lazy-loading-asyncronous-javascript/ http://friendlybit.com/js/lazy-loading-asyncronous-javascrip...)
2) Detect whether the page is hosted on http or https - you don't want to be the cause of errors in IE :)
I'd love it if you could post some usage figures a month from now, e.g. bandwidth costs and the power required to host widgets like this - it's something I don't have a clue about.
- epi0Bauqu 16y agoDuly noted on both. This widget has actually been around for a long time (launched over two years ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=391487 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=391487). It doesn't require much resources. I cache the responses and so most stuff is served via memcached directly from nginx.
