I came across the word chainmail while readingĀ Google: the chainmail version blog post in the following sentence:
I have been working with chainmail, and metal working in general, for nearly 5 years now.
The word chainmail refers to a type of armor that consists of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh.
It seems that Google is eying the growing mesh trend in the Web same as Yahoo! did with its pipes, yet as usual, Google is just hinting upon this in an indirect way claiming the blog post to be among the “non-work interests and pastimes of individual Googlers.”
