SpellWeb Adds Alexa Votes

Sites like BananaSlug, DynaKewb and Spellweb started as programming exercises, and continue as such. SpellWeb was originaly based on scraping as many search engines and comparing the results. When Google legitimized "borrowing" search results with their APIs, I switched over to using those exclusively. Now that the Alexa APIs have also been opened, I've just added Alexa to SpellWeb, so try it out.

I access the Google APIs using SOAP in PHP. I access the Alexa APIs using REST in Perl.
