About PadRing
This website was meant to demonstrate how software developers can benefit from linking PAD files each to other.
As you know, regular search engines can easily search for HTML pages.
How does it work? It's really transparent - each page has links to other pages.
It makes possible to spy pages by jumping from page to page.
Why not to apply this technology to PAD files?

http://www.your-friend's-website.com/path-to/your-friend's-PAD.xml
