I've found the Alexa/Netscape "What's Related" software/feature a rather

strange little thing. I'm assuming it finds "related" links by doing an

equivalent of a "link:" search on AltaVista.


Anyway, no I haven't found it very useful yet. It never seems to find me any

interesting (let alone related) sites.


Ok, I lie -- For a giggle go to www.onlinemagic.com and do a "What's Related?".
