My understanding is that it's a simple keyword filter, so I wouldn't
expect too much from it.

We've played with the product during its development and connected
them with some people in the community; the last versions I've seen
don't have most of the early bugs anymore, though there's still plenty
of room for improvement as well. It remains to be seen whether it can
be commercially successful, but it's still nice to see alternative
approaches to distributing free content. I've put up a blog post about
it here:
