    I thought you guys were mainly a Ruby backend. Are you switching to PHP? Also, are you guys going to do any developer APIs in the future? I'm a Flex developer and I think you guys could have some fun data to visualize.

      We are switching to a PHP based platform for our commerce solution yes. As for APIs, we have thought about it and I think we'll definitely get there. It should be fun :-)
