Show HN: Edit Text, See Relevant Images. ~200 Lines Of JavaSript

I was experimenting with different term-extraction API's and I came up with this simple HTML5/CSS3/JS thing that shows you relevant images as you enter text.

Basic scenario

- User enters text

- Terms are instantly extracted from content via Alchemy API

- Google Image search is used to find relevant images on Flickr

- Images are shown in the background

There are some minor perks like the fact that the image searches are rotating around the color wheel (Google let's you specify a desired color of the image), and content is also stored in LocalStorage.

The prototype has a "bug" (HTML5 ContentEditable isn't a good enough replacement for a WYSIWYG, only works in Chrome in Safari) and a few "missing features" (Enlarging images and so on).

Right now it's pretty much client-side, everything happens in JS (OOP Prototype and jQ for Cross-site JSON-P requests):

I want to gauge the potential and get some feedback. I realize there are players like Zemanta in this field, but I'm pretty sure this could be applied to different use cases.
