# embedex v1.0
is now available here...

Currently only polling b3ta, popbitch and urban75 -
building the form to submit new boards as we speak...

I also still need to build some URL exclusion lists
and other gadgets, but basically it lists all the
links from current message boards in order of most
postedness.....

It came to me all unexpected like.

But I liked it...

# Oh,
And do we care about archiving off old stats ?

And is so, do we care about more than the top 25 links ?

I'm trying to save storage space...

# you need to poll over time
see a link gets 1 point
If it's still there the next day that point is worth .5, next day then .25 etc.

After running this for a while this will weed out the links to navigation etc.

Er... I think.

# oh... and record the descriptive text between the tags
this will help the user tell what the link is.

# Hmmmm....
only thing is, seeing as how fast b3ta and popbitch move,
I reckon it's unlikely that the same page will be linked the next day.
And I'm currently updating 48 times a day.
So we may need to put more thought into scoring...

I reckon number of links, with modifiers for longevity perhaps...

Also, a banner add was top of blogdex earlier... *giggle*
