I’ve responded to some of the other questions & concerns at http://blog.mas...st-launch-daze/.

Ranjit @ MashLogic

Not only that, it is inevitable that when they have enough users they’ll push advertising into these annoying pop ups.

As a content producer, not terribly happy with someone else trying to create an advertising channel via the content on my sites !

It almost needs an AI that will recognize when you have Apple App Store in a string you mean it as one thing.

At first I was pretty upset with mashlogic. I figured out the reason; because I choose to only display its mashes when I click (rather than mouse hover), It replaces functioning links with its own. For instance, when I go to Surf The Channel (.com), and I go to click on the TV section, mashlogic informs me that TV means

“Television (TV) is a widely used telecommunication medium for sending (broadcasting) and receiving moving images, either monochromatic (”black and white”) or color, usually accompanied by sound.”

While that is fascinating, I’d really like to just follow the link to the list of shows. Now that I’ve realised this, I’ve turned it off. Thing is, while proofing this very comment, I accidentally slid the mouse onto text that interrupted the proofing.

Also, it seems a bit slow. I have residential high-speed, nothing great, but it still seems to take its time underlining links for me.

That said, it’s clear TechCrunch loves this addon, and I love techcrunch, so I’m giving it more time then I would on my own, but I hope this beta release is just a hint of its capability.
