I'd actually like to see the return of these, maybe some plugins where people can select the top ones to show first, or randomize as others have voted to put other sites within certain rings..
give me that, and an open source thing that does what google calendar does with the ability to suck in info from fbook, google cal, and apple cal - then we would have a couple of plugins that groups and small shops could add to their web sites that would actually help others in similar industries and get updated when one or more of their in-house people don't know who to update html can depend on calendar edits.
now I'm wondering if a list of sites can be stashed via git so it's easy to clone - and can an api be used to pull from those to display the needed web ring things and such.
