Add "tell me about this site/page" intent

[ianb]

Sites have links that go to where the site owner wants you to go. Can we use voice to expose other ways of learning about a site or page?

Some places we could go:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{domain} works for many larger sites.
• Those site pages have categories and other metadata that we could pull out, if we don't just want to give the entire Wikipedia page.
• We can use history to detect if the user frequents some sites that offer commentary.
• E.g., for Reddit you can try https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=url%3A{url}
• Or Hacker News there's https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query={url}&type=story
• Sometimes the title of the article is interesting to search on. You can add -site:domain to filter out the site where you found the article. The search can also be done on news.google.com
• Title of article, plus snopes.com, and I'm Feeling Lucky, can often work. E.g., this page has a title that will take you here. But this normal news article using that same algorithm ends up on a related-but-not-really-related snopes article

Here's a mini-study of a reputable and high-traffic timely article:

• This is a good current example (Blizzard's Hong Kong Screw-Up Is Officially an International Incident). There's lots of commentary on this article.
• The Reddit API documentation
• You can just add .json to get JSON for at least search (other things might need auth)
• Here is a search result for the article (JSON)
• The Hack News API documentation.
• HN search results
• Vice.com Wikipedia article/section.
• Vice.com site categories (pretty uninformative): American lifestyle magazines, American monthly magazines, Cultural magazines, Vice Media, Magazines published in New York City, Magazines established in 1994, 1994 establishments in Quebec, Magazines published in Montreal
• Google search results on the URL: weirdly it has HN Algolia top in the list, even when I do it from a private window. Lower links are interesting commentary (including a link to the Blizzard forums).
• Google News search on the URL only gives the article itself, no good.
• Google News on the quoted title only gives one other article, also on vice.com, that links to the other article.
• Google News on the unquoted title gives lots of good related articles.
• Facebook search kind of works but the results aren't interesting.
• Twitter API documentation. It doesn't have an unauthenticated version.
• Twitter search of the URL. It works well.
• Nothing on the Steam Community.
• Nothing on YouTube.
• Wikipedia list of forums: but nothing else on the list looks very useful.

It would be interesting to follow some of these same paths with a different article. Maybe something more obscure or more disreputable.

Let me work on this as well. I just tested the API. It brings out a sidebar that shows the page info like this one
