Hooking up WoW to the Web

I recently got wind of an upcoming anthology of research papers about World of Warcraft. "That's interesting", I thought, "maybe I can contribute?" Unfortunately (for me), the focus of the book is going to be sociology, literature and media research, whereas my area is computational linguistics (up until my MA) and Semantic Web (ever since I started my PhD). All the things I came up with in my head were way to techy: Could I connect my WoW account to my Flickr account? - Can I integrate WoW into the Semantic Web? None of these things would really fit into the book. However, I think it would still be a fun thing to do! Why? - Why not?

And this is why I started this blog. If I don't get a book chapter, I should at least get a blog! Whenever I get some ideas that generally relate to "Hooking up WoW to the Web", I will just jut them down here. Plans of what to do, how to do it, related things, whatever. That's the plan.
