OP's blog post reminds me sorely how depressing it is to create something and get feedback from the world. The most accurate description of Word Lens I've read is "take a look! This is the future." And still, there are people to write nasty articles calling it lame because it doesn't fix breakfast as well.
So I found my resolution for the new year. I'll stick to my anonymity when creating products, and hire somebody to get feedback while filtering out the nasties. And never, ever ego-search on my products.

But the extremely limited application of translation technology which meets an edge-case need isn't the future. It's a good first step toward solving translation problems. Criticism is a valuable part of a product's lifecycle. Glowing praise is fun to get, but it doesn't help you move forward and improve.
