Control.Newtype is not important. I added it just to be able to write

  ala' Concurrently traverse getURL urls

instead of

  runConcurrently $ traverse (Concurrently . getURL) urls

But it is probably nicer to have

  doConcurrently :: Traversable t => (a -> IO b) -> t a -> IO (t b)

then you could write

  doConcurrently getURL urls

and your doConcurrently would just be "doConcurrently id". 

I updated the code at https://gist.github.com/2926572
