Could you please change the way your plugin chooses the blogsearch language? It seems this is now done by checking the ip address from where you are using the internet. Being an expat, this is very annoying because I do not see any comments in my own language.
I think it should be relatively simple to use the same cookie that Google.com sets when you click on the 'Google.com in English' link, or maybe just create a language chooser option in the extension panel?
Thanks for the nice plugin, I am looking forward to using it when it shows messages that I can actually understand ;) (Well, it is not that bad, I do understand them, but I am just not interested in messages that are not written in my own language).
Thanks Glen for writing that firefox widget, I love it! It is truly amazing. The best part is I find comments about the site which are more insightful than the original pages!
Talk about getting the best information, even if it is someone else :)
Did you have any input on the licensing for the extensions? Is there anyone whose ear you can bend about the "Proprietary Rights" section of the license agreement [1]?
I can understand (sort of) Google not wanting other individuals or other companies to make a profit from redistributing modified or unmodified versions of the extensions but a blanket prohibition on creating or redistributing derivative works is pretty sucky and sort of undermines Google's "Do No Evil" stance.
I confess to not even reading the license as I clicked through to uninstall the extensions and first heard about the licensing issue through Niall Kennedy's blog. [2]

Glen, just started using sproutliner - any idea whether or not a project management web app is in the works within the walls of google?
The Blogger comments extension is neat.
