Actually the #1 issue everyone raises before really using openkapow, is the robustness toward changes on web pages. In reality, the intelligent DOM based location mechanism for objects on a page, included in the openkapow technology, mostly makes this a complete non-issue. I know it sounds weird, but this is a fact proven by the hundred of thousand robots written by customers of Kapow as well as on the community on openkapow Thanks for your comment on openkapow.

It certainly opens up more opportunities for cool mashups. The downside is that an update to a service could easily break an openkapow implementation. Just adding an additional click to verify something throws the whole thing out of whack. Obviously, APIs are better, but not everyone thinks they need one. LinkedIn for example?
