<p>It's hard not to check the stats every 10 minutes to see if anybody linked to me. To help my weak will not to do this, I created <a href="https://w3future.com/tools/refsrss.php">an RSS file that shows all referrers of the current day</a>. It even tries to show the title of the referring page and an excerpt. The excerpt is simply the whole line that contains "w3future.com", with the html tags stripped. It works surprisingly well for such a simple hack.</p>
<p>The information that is gathered for the referrer RSS is stored in my RDF database. You can now query this information. An example: <a href="https://w3future.com/tools/rdf.php?about=https://w3future.com/weblog/">RDF data for https://w3future.com/weblog/</a>.</p>
