[Sigia-l] Snap

[Thomas Vander Wal]

Snap seems blind to context and that is not a step forward.  Doing an
ego search (Vander Wal) the popular pages rank gives ESPN (sport site)
insanely high rank because ESPN is linked to an awful lot as a whole
(87,xxx times).  ESPN, I doubt is linked to 87k times because of John
Vander Wal.  The context linking seems link in needs to be used.
