Metabole allows someone to link not just to a page, but to create a real course of web pages, with notification every time that course changes. We can call this "the incremental web" (Skentra). Others call it the "live web". The Web 2.0.
Now, dynamic websites (i.e., database-backed sites with dynamically generated content) replaced static web pages well over ten years ago. What's dynamic about the live web are not just the pages, but the links. A link to a weblog is expected to point to a perennially changing page, with "permalinks" for any individual entry, and notification for each change. A metabolean feed is thus a much stronger link than, say a bookmark or a link to a single page.
