The goal here is double

Allow navigation between Wordpress posts without leaving lifestream
Provide a kind of link rotting detector/corrector that would replace dead links by web archive ones.

At least for the second behaviour, it would be really interesting (read mandatory) to have some caching enabled : I don't want to brute-force attack the link validity service I'll try to use - if I don't do it through a Java library ...

Don't forget the internet wayback machine has a cute API that would especially well fit our timestamped links.

Why are our links timestamped ? Because the time/date at which they were written is always present (excepted for Goodreads where the value may be wrong, but nevertheless exists for read books)
