I was thinking we could do it all client side with js and html5 (and
localstorage or indexdb) You'd define the order in system preferences,
local, google, amazon, ltfl etc. Then the js would try them in that
order and cache the resulting url (or the fact it couldn't find one)
in localstorage or indexdb, which persists even when the browser is
closed.

That way it wouldnt need to be another server/service, since you have
the js already, it shouldn't be too hard to convert it to an html5
client side app.

Thoughts?
