Whenever Mark or Sam linked to a story on another site, they wrapped cite tags around the name. So where you would write: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/someArticle">NY Times</a>: "A religious sect that contends that space travelers created the human race by cloning themselves declared today that the first cloned human had been born." They'd do: <cite>NY Times</cite>: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/someArticle">Some Article</a>. "A religious sect that contends that space travelers created the human race by cloning themselves declared today that the first cloned human had been born." Now they have a script that looks for all these <cite> tags and reorganizes them by the thing being cited. So the NY Times page lists all entries that have <cite>NY Times</cite> and so on. -- Aaron Swartz [http://www.aaronsw.com]
