What's the most effective way to strengthen the Web? Strengthen hyperlinking. Create dynamic nodes.
Classify hyperlinks to inform people what type of journey a specific hyperlink provides. To the same server or another; to the literal or metaphorical? To fiction or fact?
www.feedmag.com already classifies hyperlinks, textually, in the margin. But even better, HTML 2.0 has a special attribute that can be used to encode a title showing more than just the URL address. When you point, you should see "www.congress.com. Fiction. Law."
Further iterations? Automate the process: nodes could run a protocol for intelligent intranode communication. Nodes could then communicate the creation of a "permanent" hyperlink and send and grab metadata to classify it. And nodes could search for links with similar descriptions.
