Hopefully all our sites will look'n'feel similar, so I don't think changing
the URL makes a big impact there. (Why redirect when it 'just works' now?)

So, now I have a better understanding of where you're coming from, I don't
agree: "Any" kind of integration isn't necessarily a good thing, changing
URLs for no real benefit isn't really worthwhile, Planet and The Fridge are
quite different so anything more than linking between them (and the linking
could be really cool like a list of hackergotchis or a sidebar with titles)
might be worse than it is better.

They really are different things.
