adulau: One possible way "to see at glance what a link is about" is to make an automatic term extraction of the link. A small box could be included (I know this could overload a bit the current nice and minimalistic interface) showing the inverse frequency of the most popular terms in the retrieved link using a kind of TF-IDF weight algorithm.I suppose a "stop words" list would be required along with a stemming algorithm to limit the tokens/"words" with less semantic meaning. In this case, the work can be done while the submitter is adding the link and the software proposes the extracted list automatically. The submitter can alter the list proposed to improve the meaning of terms extracted.
