Title: Small fixes to Fortune 5000 web scraping / messaging example

Hi,

I saw [your article referenced on Hackaday](http://hackaday.com/2012/12/10/web-scraping-tutorial/), and the link to your repo that you posted there. I liked the nice overview of web scraping and its benefits and challenges. Especially liked the fortune 5000 example code that you wrote. I wasn't aware of how application messaging worked before and didn't know about RabbitMQ. I think it's a nice and tidy example of how you can efficiently queue and distribute tasks using messaging. Very interesting possibilities there. I'm thinking I should try to build my next project around this kind of message structure.
Thanks for posting this. :)

If you'd like, I made some small fixes that you can pull in, which are to make it work with the current layout on Inc.com-- it seems the layout may have changed since you wrote this code, so the company URLs aren't picked up any more.

Is it all right if I use your code as a basis for my own projects? Is there any license on this code that I should know about?

Cheers,
-Vegar Guldal
