I just spent about 30 min­utes enter­ing links into word­press. It’s some­thing I’ve been mean­ing to do for a while. As I was near­ing the end of this process, I began to real­ize something.

A vis­i­tor to this hum­ble page would get not only my ram­blings, but links to a fair num­ber of my friends’ jour­nals, my del.icio.us book­marks, my CIA stats and my pho­tos. Along with all of these, they also get RSS for every­thing. This is a stag­ger­ing amount of infor­ma­tion, and there’s got to be some­thing cool that can be done with it.

I’m start­ing to toy with the idea of a web ser­vice that would take a page, parse out links, fol­low things with proper XFN rela­tion­ship tags and…err…do some­thing with all that. Prob­a­bly noth­ing will come of it (given my cur­rent projects sit­u­a­tion), but it’s an idea that’s so tickly that it just might happen.
