Furl is a web-based application that lets you save links, including actually archiving the page you are looking at. John Battelle has some ideas on how it might evolve, especially on an “Internet-scale” platform like Yahoo, Google, or Amazon.

But wait…there’s more. You can share your PersonalWeb with others. And Mike just added a recommendation engine, so you can see links the service thinks will be interesting to you, based on what you’ve already Furl’d. Now, let’s play this out. Imagine Furl on, oh, Yahoo, for example. Or Google. You now have a massively scaled application where millions of people are creating their own personal versions of the web, and then sharing them with each other, driving massively statistically significant recommendations, and…some pretty damn useful metadata that can be fed into search engine algorithms, resulting in…yup, far better search (and…far better SFO (Search Find Obtain) opportunities).

Congratulations to Michael Tippett and family:

Kate and I are happy to announce the birth of Sylvie Cochrane Tippett. She was born April 20, 2005, is just shy of 7 pounds, in good health and an expert sleeper (so far). We are both doing well and Hugo has enjoyed getting to know his new little sister. Photos will soon be posted on www.SylvieTippett.com.

Wow. What a dad — a new baby girl and her very own URL from birth. Should she get her own Flickr and del.icio.us accounts as well?

Michael is a Vancouver native and mastermind behind Now Public. Maybe we’ll see him come up for air again in a couple of weeks and we can talk about kids online during a Vancouver Beercast.
