Hi Xbys.

Yeah, I used http://blog.ycombinator.com/hacker-news-api to download the data into a postgres database, which I then uploaded to cloudsearch to power the trend analyzer. Cloudsearch maps words that are close to each other (ex :coder and coders) and searches the text of both.

Thanks for the suggestion RE: relative numbers. Since HN is growing, it's hard to tell which topics are growing on a relative basis to HN's population.

Looking into your firefox bug right now, hopefully Ill be able to reproduce it.
