> Yesterday I got an email from Jeff Veen at Wired pointing me to the

> This server is part of the project they did with Alexa Internet, and
> it's the back-end for the What's Related? feature in Netscape 4.5.

> I had a little time to kill, was looking for a diversion, so I sent a
> message to Netscape's server via script and I was blown away. It's
> XML! Yes it is. And why, oh why, didn't they tell anyone? (Or did I miss
> something?)

> Anyway, I wrote an app that talks to their server. It interfaces thru
> an HTML form. You enter the URL of a site, and I find out what's related,
> with a twist. The URL to the related site links back to the form, and I do
> a lookup on *that* site, allowing you to interactively walk their
> tree of relationships.

> This is just a demonstration. I want to be sure that people interested

> Netscape has done, which is very interesting, for sure.
