For the pages in the application that we can do it, we create mirror HTML pages. Those pages are out there on the web — they can be shared, they can be searched, you can find them out there… We know there are billions of other people sharing content on the web, and we want to be part of that.

There are things that we can do in the air that we can’t do when our feet are rooted to the ground, we’ve tried skipping and it wasn’t good enough. Now, we’ve taken a running jump off a cliff, having knitted a parachute out of rope. Even though the rope wasn’t really designed for this, so long as we’ve bound it tight enough it will actually probably work well enough to glide and land. Of course, there are almost certainly a few loose holes that will make the descent a little scary at times, and if it’s wrong then whole contraption will unravel in the air and we’ll fall to our deaths.
