This is no longer a separate feature like it was a few months ago—it’s now integrated into the main product seamlessly.

You can compare what it generated with the coverage from TechCrunch and The Verge.

Watch the whole keynote here:

The Market for Lemons - Infrequently Noted

New web services are being built to a self-defeatingly low UX and performance standard, and existing experiences are now pervasively re-developed on unspeakably slow, JS-taxed stacks.
