What a wonderful idea. Just FYI, I went to share this on facebook, and the thumbnail was white on white. You might want to put a few metadata tags in there.

I've used Node.js to power a little "social doodling" pet project I made: http://letsdrawit.com and I find it a useful way to think about concurrency because there are certain types of race conditions you don't have to consider (for example any critical regions in memory)
It's extremely useful for the "evented" part, but I get the sensation of using node for hosting webpages might be overkill and not the appropriate tool. Instead, I've got the node.js core proxied behind an nginx server hosting static files and ruby rack (for when dynamic content is necessary).
Does anyone see an advantage of using Node to host templated webpages?

Reading the correspondence on the following bug really turned me off to the project. http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5172.
Specifically: "Please do not reopen a ticket that's been marked "wontfix" by a core developer;"
I'm not sure how the issue jives with the whole Django philosophy, but with that much interest in changing the templating language, I found that a bit harsh...

Maybe I missed something, but is this really how Firefox's location services work? By phoning google with the MAC address? I understood google was logging them, but didn't know they were _using_ them...
