We just wanted to control the growth before we got all the bugs ironed out. We didn't know how well our servers would scale, and we don't have a support staff. Not having the plugins listed certainly does impact the distribution and the exposure of the product in terms of volume - when we come out of closed beta, we'll have them there.

One of the big advantages, though, is that we also get to have more self selecting and passionate users this way and they tell others who would care.

Cool. Good luck to you guys! One suggestion is that you guys should look into releasing a Safari version as well. Since it's Webkit-based, it takes almost zero effort going from Chrome to Safari. I recently wrote a Firefox extension and was able to port it to Chrome and Safari quite easily, since it's pretty much all Javascript.
Thank you. Safari is the most requested one among the ones we're currently not supporting.
