[Data-modeling] new Freebase application online: Thinkbase

[Jeff Thompson]

Congrats on a great application.  Is this a pure client-side which only
queries freebase.com, or when I click a node does it need to
communicate with thinkbase.cs.auckland.ac.nz?  (I'm wondering if it
would scale up with many users or melt your server.)
