You are my favorite scientist. Your invention has benefited the lives of billions of people across the planet. Case in point: it gives me the chance to communicate with you at this moment, something that will probably never happen in the physical world. I am very much fascinated by the Web and I hope to pursue research on this topic. Currently, it seems that the social media is its most influential aspect. What do you think will be the Web's next biggest contribution to society?

Did you ask permission from the websites that you use for displaying book prices? I want to create a similar service (not books, but other stuffs that can be bought online), but I'm not sure how to go about it without breaking any law

Thanks for the reply! I used to think I can just crawl websites and scrape their data, but I found out there are legal issues when doing these stuffs. The use of APIs makes much more sense, I just hope most online retailers will provide them
