[Web4lib] Ojax++ VRE

[Peter Murray]

Interesting project.  Does the software pull-down the full text of URLs in the activity stream (such as something bookmarked or listed in a tweet) and provide for a keyword search over that content?  I didn't see anything in the demonstration video that pointed to that capability, but it seems like a natural extension.
