The Mendicant Bug

The papers are out for WWW2009 (and have been for a bit), but I’ve only just gotten a chance to start looking at them. First of all, kudos to the ePrints people for improving the presentation of conference proceedings. This is a lot easier than having to do a Google Scholar search for each paper and hoping I find something, like I have to do with some conferences.
