There’s been a bit of fuss amongst WordPress bloggers about a surprise new feature added recently– the “possibly related blog posts” thing that is now dangling at the end of some of my entries. So far, it seems to be a goofy extra that mostly tries to direct readers to my own pages, which may be a sign that I’m the only person who writes about this sort of stuff!
I decided to scroll back through my entries to see if there were any useful links I would have made myself, and really didn’t find anything too mind-blowing. If anything, the whole process got me thinking about how fun it would be to have a random link generator for my own site…
Luckily, one already exists. As I gather, it was released as something of a secret, and probably as more of a curiosity than anything. Clicking on it will take you to a random Startling Moniker entry, and you’ll find it in the sidebar, titled “John Cage Demands It!”
Feel free to click the above link, or its sidebar doppelganger.

Heh, apparently the “possibly related posts” has decided to spite you for your observation.
In a world where large numbers of people use things like Digg, del.icio.us, and Stumbleupon (I can’t claim that I don’t from time to time), randomly generated link predictions seem to be quite the amusement in tooling around the web when productivity simply won’t do.
