Finding The Shortest Route Between Wikipedia Articles

Posted August 16th 2010 by in archive

Thought I’d hit you with a quick and random one today so brace yourself…

Have you ever wanted to find out what the shortest path between any two Wikipedia articles is? No? Why am I not surprised? However if you are so inclined XLTD.com can help you out with both the minimum number clicks, plus a list of the links themselves. Surely one of the more random websites out there.

I threw a few unrelated (or so I thought…) topics in, it’s actually fairly amazing how interlinked everything is. I’m not totally sure of any good applications for such a site, maybe it’s just here to help you win a bet with a friend that such a site even exists?

Needless to say it’s still fantastic in it’s own, rather strange, little way. Let me know what you think below.
