XHTML friends suddenly had a lot a of traffic… Not sure where from though. But when I checked today the number of sites added jumped from 900 to 1100 and the number of queued sites went from 200 to 1000! I’m making it crawl them all now.
Wohoo! I’ve just “finished” the XFN site. Go take a look :) XHTML Friends
Well if you have a URL you want crawled go to http://brownab1.miniserver.com/xfn/crawl.php.
If you want to have a look at the pages already there in a nice graphical network display, go to http://brownab1.miniserver.com/xfn/image.php.
This displays 26 random sites and the links between them. If you click on a site it “holds” it so subsequent requests always contain this site (this way you can slowly buildup an image of sites that actually link to each other).
XFN stands for XML Friends Network. You basically define human relationships between webpage authors by adding an extra atribute to links.
Well I decded to write a nice XFN crawler/search engine thingy. The crawler part works. I also decided to do a nice graphical representation of the links between sites.
Red is “crush”, blue is “met” and green is “friend” (just three properties I picked at random).
