I am going to start a link blog - but with a twist: I am only going to post links I saw on other link blogs and liked.

Motivations:

  • My blog reading time is now dominated by links from link blogs anyway.
  • I only read about 20% of the links I see in link blogs, but I think the signal to noise ration when I do is about 1:2 - much better than my normal blog reading.
  • There are lots of great link blogs for .NET developers anyway.
  • I used to post more links / comments here, but now I just e-mail them. I don't want to talk about my weblog at work - it would be kind of awkward - but I want to share links in one shot. No more e-mail + blog post (although I hardly ever post plain old links anyway.)
  • I have 694 things tagged in del.icio.us right now and I'm starting to get del.ja.vu - alot. I need a better way to screen the cream of the crop.
  • People probably don't read anything I write anyway.
  • It will be fun.
I'll set it up and start posting in a few days. It will be a different feed, so I can hand it out everywhere and not be linked back to any point-in-time opinion/rant I had about something.
