## What Jamie wrote

What a lovely idea this is! The challenge that everyone likes to highlight with the web is discoverability. This "Blog Quest" plugin is a super interesting way of solving that:

> Blog Quest is a web browser extension that helps you discover and subscribe to blogs. Blog Quest checks each page for auto-discoverable RSS and Atom feeds (using `rel="alternate"` links) and quietly collects them in the background. When you're ready to explore the collected feeds, open the extension's drop-down window.

I wish this was available for Safari — I would add it in a minute. I love the idea of accumulating feeds with passive browsing.
