Link Feedback
So one of the assertions in Stephen Johnson’s excellent book Emergence is that the web alone doesn’t show any self-organizing behavior because it’s missing feedback, i.e., all the links are one-way.
This neat widget by Sean Nolan will automatically track incoming links and then display them to your site visitors. I believe some very interesting applications of this widget are afoot. (via ia/)

I had a dog named Widget and my mom gave it away. You should add more excitement to your webpage, yo!

This is as exciting as it gets for now. What do you suggest?

I’m using Sean’s widget on a per-page basis (rather than the canonical site-wide installation) on the IAwiki. I’m currently hacking a reverse version which will let me report for any given page, which links are the most popular outbound links.
