Abstract: The web provides a free and timely source of information which 
is not limited to any single sector of society, thus providing a vital 
source for the investigation of inter-sector collaboration. This paper 
describes a pilot study investigating the potential of reciprocal links to 
identify collaborations between the university, industry, and government 
sectors. Using the Windows Live search-engine's recently introduced 
operator linkfromdomain: in conjunction with the established linkdomain: 
operator, it finds that a high proportion of such `MSN reciprocal links' 
reflect a collaboration between the real world organisations they 
represent. Whilst more research is necessary it clearly shows the 
potential of reciprocal links for investigating organisational 
collaboration.
