I haven't found an application which is following that pattern yet. Probably running a proxy in front of a bunch of micro instances is a good idea, that will distribute the load evenly why adding the required redundancy and speed improvemen

Compiled from source and using it from a separate folder it's fine for me. Also added easy_install from source and used that to install a few libraries like boto, readline, ipython, etc. without a problem.

I like your decision, that makes the whole UI useful and simple. It's also nice to open any URL, even notepad.cc/share works.
