the commons (13. 526)

Via Waxy, we are directed to this cute little add-on that can turn the footer of one’s website, brushing aside the banner ads, into a little forum where visitors who are there at the same time can walk around and chat with one another, perhaps reading the same article and post and share their opinions about it—or just meet someone with shared interest.

This sweet idea for the comments section and view statistics as a very ephemeral and chance encounter, anonymous and that’s not recorded in anyway is from an aerospace engineer called Cauรช and may be expanded in the future, like a little sidescrolling game, where one can walk to the next website on the webring. Much more at the links above.
