Evidently I didn’t miss the boat on Bordee. It’s only recently launched and is getting noticed. I’ve been playing around with it, and there’s something magnificent that I’ve discovered.

I went to the Bordee homepage and looked around at the Bordee topics posted there. I wandered into one post about a new Weebl’s flash. Someone had posted saying basically “take a look at this, it’s pretty cool.” I was trying to find a link to whatever it was he was pointing out when it hit me like a ton of bricks.

The Bordee post itself WAS the link. It was attached to the site. I could click on the accompanying URL displayed at the top and go directly to what the poster was referring to.

I thought Bordee was a slick tool when I understood it to be nothing more than an off-site virtual messageboard. But it isn’t just that. I can go to the Bordee site, grab their RSS feed and see every topic that is placed in conjunction with any website. Which makes Bordee part digg, part del.icio.us, and part virtual messageboard. It’s actually like an aggregated messageboard. No, it’s not like one — that’s exactly what it is, and I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees.

Maybe everyone else understood this from the start, but it just now clicked for me, and it makes Bordee infinitely more extraordinary that I had originally conceived it to be.

I have to learn not to underestimate web 2.0 these days. My borders are expanding at a rate that I can’t seem to really keep up with. Do you have days like that? I’ll bet Mike Arrington doesn’t.
