For example,
A central site registry where you put the URL for your site into a db could be used to allow anyone to link to your site on their own page using a web object which would automatically update if you change your URL in the central database, i.e. no one would actually have to know your URL, just how to link to you using a web object.

More powerfully,
as I mentioned in the interview, we could standardize our color-names if TLC gave us that info (which they subsequently did). I think simple implementations like this would be a good place to start: colors, part numbers, set numbers (again TLC determines those), etc.

Ok, I understand now. And I like it a lot. IMO, that would be pretty darn cool. (And also from what stuff I know, a lot easier to implement.)

So it all sounds good. Does anyone else have other ideas for places where this kind of thing could be useful?
