"[My.UserLand] is a large, untapped, powerful entity."

So true. And interestingly, it's possible to tap a lot of its potential client-side, through the excellent support for XML that you now have in Mozilla.

(Evangelism jets turning the other way for a moment.)

The entire story flow is available through XML.

Theoretically with locally-running JavaScript, you should be able to provide anything a user might want. If not, maybe the stuff you can access through JS should be expanded.

If you'd rather just have a web app..

If someone who knows Frontier teams up with Andrew and a few others perhaps, I will contribute a free Frontier subscription for a project to provide alternate user interfaces for the My.UserLand story flow.

We ship code for a My.UserLand affiliate, it works, it's how My.UserLand works. The app you use is just an HTML interface on affiliate2.root, nothing more.

Round and round we go

Andrew I think it would be really cool if Netscape operated a Frontier server for this stuff.

my.mozilla.netscape.com??

What a trip round the loop that would be!!

Think Killer App™
