I was totally blown away by a new web hack I saw today by Niall Kennedy.

I have known Niall for a little while now — having met him at several events after moving to San Francisco last year. I always knew that Niall was incredibly smart. But I didn’t realize what an evil-genius he was until I read his new Sniff Browser History for Improved User Experience post. So many possibilities, including dramatically cleaning up the Profile Services page on MyBlogLog. Niall is a great writer and does a fantastic job explaining the technique. He even has a nice demo page you can play with.

Yes, there are a lot of ways to abuse this hack; but there are some amazingly useful things you can do as well. So if you are for good, or for awesome, I highly recommend checking it out.
