      <![CDATA[<p><strong>Idea:</strong> Once broadband is more widespread, how about some javascript (or maybe a browser add-in) that adds <strong>meta-data</strong> to the tooltip on a link? Something like the date of the last update and maybe the registrant of the link's domain when you hover over the text. I'll have to look into it.</p>
<p>Has anyone seen <strong>something like this</strong>? It's like <a href="http://www.alexa.com">Alexa</a>, only more integrated. Speaking of which, is it common knowledge that <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a> owns Alexa now</strong>? Seems like a lot of potential for a conflict of interest there.</p>]]>
