I think your idea is capital. I do think you share your trade secrets too easily - demo camp and now this post. Build a bigger mass before you get emulated with someone with a better marketing scheme.

Distributing the load to the client is an excellent idea, especially for things that need constant updates or are exceptionally rich web applications. I've thought quite a bit on how much can really be offloaded to the client to reduce the server work. I'm sure some people might have a problem with it... but do most people care? I doubt it. Maybe people would be concerned about somehow figuring out what people have on their lists - containing potentially embarrassing items... but you can probably obfuscate that.
