I was reading an article in the NewScientistTech about a physics PhD student at Harvard University, Alexander Wissner-Gross, who teaches an under-graduate course at the University, and wondered how he could automate the process of creating a reading list for his course

As he saw similarities between the structure of his course and the way information was connected in Wikipedia, he experimented with algorithms that analysed the hypertext link structure of the site.

The result was his tool, Wikiosity.  Try it out!
