Great to see another startup using their own platform to do cool stuff! That's really the way of doin' it.

Overall, I love how Soundcloud really have focused their energy to get people use their platform in so many creative ways.

* They started Music Hack Day (http://musichackday.org/)

* They started Soundcloud Labs (http://soundcloudlabs.com/)

* They have a great App Gallery (http://soundcloud.com/apps?ref=top)

* They host hundreds of "Soundcloud meetups" (http://soundcloud.com/pages/meetups)

(Btw, here's a great talk about how they boostrapped and got people to use their platform http://vimeo.com/11420397)

We've heard a lot about how "platforms" will lead the future. It's nice to see a few smart products dive into this head first.

the gmail plugin looks like one of the more worthwhile plugins to me, but it has the least feedback, while the "takes questions" plugin, which seems almost useless, has the most feedback. what am i missing?!
