It's amazing how effective a bit of community marketing was-

The very first thing I thought of when seeing the app was out was that I had to buy it, and go through the silliness to win the mighty bobblehead.

It's certainly something that I'll note for Chron X. People want toys, and silly contests are a fun way to involve everyone.

I wonder if you'll get any reflections in the spoon sightings.

In any event, nice job- I was pleased to see the 280 North guys were involved.

Does this use Cappuccino in a mini-browser, or is it all custom? Maybe they'll do a HN app next ;)
