New: Just a Link
A new feature to the ol’ dotcom: Just a Link. Approximately three years after everyone else got one, I’ve added a little sidebar link blog to my site. It’s for quick links. Just little one-liners: A link and a thought. The same thing I said was not “all that revolutionary” five years ago. And, yeah, it’s not. But it is fun.
What’s changed? Delicious, a “social bookmarking system.” Plenty of other people have gushed about it already. Bottom line: Delicious makes sharing bookmarks social the same way Flickr makes photos social. And when formerly isolated things become social, wonderful things happen.
With Delicious, you can add bookmarks easily, republish them on your site, subscribe to other people’s bookmarks and share your own. Plus your links contribute to the global zeitgeist, where you can see what the most popular links of the moment are.
Not being revolutionary has never been so much fun.
