Track the most popular sites you visit with REKO

by Chris Gilmer Apr 3rd 2007

REKO is a Firefox extension that tracks the most popular sites that you visit and uses the information to find similar users who will have relevant links for you. How does it work? REKO gets sent the domains of the websites you visit, then adds them to your profile and compares them with similar browsers that match your profile. This can also include OPML feeds for RSS subscriptions. From there you can view the sites of closely related individuals, checking out their profiles and seeing what they are visiting.

Sounds like a great option if you are on the lookout for more sites to add on to your daily list. However, there is the privacy issue. Now, if there was a way to turn it on and off, or erase certain sites from your online profile, we could be talking about a great way to check out some additional sites we might like.

The site is still relatively small, with 25 registered users who've decided to trade privacy for shiny magic beans, tracking 4,382 domains.

UPDATE - weirdguy in the comments has let us know that you can indeed exclude certain URLS from being tracked. Thanks for the tip!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
