I get the impression their plan is so grandiose that it probably won't ever reach a completed form... The context they've added to wikipedia is neat, but what would they do to present a site I made a week ago? Are they adding this extra context only to the popular sites? Framework based, perhaps?

I think I'd want context for all sites, or not at all. I prefer consistency over occasional glitz.

It's not a problem to have a grandiose plan. You have to aim for the stars in the startup game.

But you have to be extra-careful about publishing those aims two years before a product launches. It will force you to deliver at 100%.

Risky risky.

Hmm... point taken. Maybe this deserves an Ask YC, but what is the general opinion of naming companies in an quasi-arrogant fasion. Powerset seems like a cocky name compared to Google, which is even mispeled making me think they're humble.
