1) Uh duh ... I didn't click on your link. Heh. ;) You did indeed know the name ... I had forgotten tho!
2) I should clarify, I usually run Black's queen around the board because 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 is the response I almost always encounter, myself. From there, 3. Nc3 is a nice tempo gain as the Wiki article points out, and in my experience people usually run around somwhere chaseable. Against people with less confidence in their playing skill, 3 ... Qa5 4 a3 and 5. b4 can be very fun, though 3 ... Qa5 4 d3 and later 5. Bd2 is not bad as a threat against the Queen (which has likely still not moved).
I also run into people who try to be savvy with the attack at 3 ... Qe5+ or 3 ... Qe6+. Again, given the general average level of players I face (average being the level I am at too!), I usually respond with 4. Qe2, which freaks them out and they rarely accept the exchange so early in the game. So that works. I highly recommend learning how to get along without your queen (and how to mate without her), because many players can't.
