- Darn, I wanted to do that. So, how "big" is the Web? Can you figure out
- stuff like "width" (distance between documents)?
-
- Wouldn't it be better if you could just ask each server for it's
- connectivity? Seems like this would make things run a **lot** faster.
- Since each server has local access to all the information it could
- just find all the HREFs real quick, unique them and report to
- someone else.

- This would be a good topic to cover at the workshop.

- I was shocked to see how few home pages I've visted. I really need to
- get out more often :-) Then I noticed that they all have the :port
- which mans it's not the same. Marc, when doing annotations and
- checking the "visited" list maybe you should ignore :80 on http:
- servers?
-
- We need to do something anyway. With annotations you can get really
- lost in the Web.
