 "A proposal, dear reader: Create a list of bookmarks linking to websites you find interesting, and publish it for the world to see. It's a bit strange, almost nobody seems to be doing this. Looking through a sample of personal websites, very few of them has links to other personal websites. A hyperlink isn't a marriage proposal. It is enough to find some redeeming quality in a website to link to it. It costs nothing, and helps bring traffic to pages that you yourself think deserve it." 36 comments
 i keep a rolling list of recent links to things: ...but this post has made me consider either expanding it into a whole published archive of all the bookmarks, or deleting it altogether in pursuit of being less known on the network. as usual, i am torn between impulses.  @neauoire okay i started one based off of some old file i had in my wiki https://cblgh.org/bookmarks/ very much tbc, need to go through my actual bookmarks and pillage @cblgh @neauoire Ha, mine's a non-stop under construction thing... the web feels so fleeting that bookmarks are among the most ephemeral. But still: HYPERLINKSSSSS!! @neauoire So... a circa 1995 personal home page on the web? That sounds lovely and of course it's what Google mined so effectively in the first place. @neauoire this, of course, is the original premise behind Google’s PageRank algorithm @neauoire I've recently been trying to get better about keeping bookmarks like this and organizing them in a way that works for me: https://benji.dog/bookmarks/ @neauoire I keep my list here: https://ericlathrop.com/interesting-links/ I also made an RSS feed for it.  @neauoire  @neauoire It always bothers me how much I bookmark things and never, I mean never think to find something there. So I always figured a solution could involve carving out space for some kind of public "bookmarks roundup". I tried doing it on stream once but it took way too long to read through them, I only got to a few.   @neauoire I used this proposal as an inspiration to clean up my browser bookmarks a bit and set them as the source for my "other sites" page. So now I can re-export as more links are collected to keep this page updated. Thanks for the reminder that the links you collect are worth sharing. @neauoire @neauoire oh no… I’ll now spend days and days reading through all your bookmarks and the bookmarks mentioned in this thread @neauoire going to enjoy going through all these replies! Totally agree, I have this page on my site https://jedidiah.dev/blogroll/    @neauoire @ddlyh it's by Marginalia, it used to be on their website, but they since took it off, so it just lives the aether now.  @neauoire Or, to put it in the outdated language of twenty years ago, it's not a blog if it doesn't have a blogroll. Or, as I put it back then, "Link somewhere, or be forever a cul de sac." http://www.erosblog.com/2003/04/08/blogging-is-as-blogging-does/ @neauoire |
