ATTN: Brad - Link of the day

Hey,
I was looking at the DX plugin examples, yet another item to the ever growing list of why I can't put off learning c++ (I've successfully put it off for about 8 years now), and I noticed that you put a plugin suggestion for link of the day. Such a plugin would have to work by downloading a file containing said link. I got thinking about it, and realized that a plugin to do such a thing was something of a vast overkill. If you're having to hit the server anyway, why not just link to a page, containing a response.redirect to the site of the day? This would achieve exactly the same thing, with no additional server overhead, and no plugin necessary on the client side. So how about it?
