Access, legality and rate limiting issues come up a lot. We're working on a couple things to address them. The first is an intelligent job distribution system that consolidates scrapes across users and hits sites (and pages) at human-like intervals. the second is to create a portal for webmasters that allows them special privileged access to analytics on data being extracted from their sites, and the ability to "turn on or off" kimono APIs if they see fit. this way, via kimono, a webmaster at chumby could "provision" certain kimono users. we're still yet to see whether the later works out. thanks for the input
