Automated Posting of Daily Links

Yeah, I've sometimes wanted to comment on various links.

I like it. Looks like I have forgotten to check out the links lately.

useful, hook it up

I like the idea of the daily links (Steve Rubel does it well), but you should try to give the full content of the links in your feed. Its one thing to have excerpts for posts (since you get an inkling of the whole), but it just doesn't work for links.

I find it annoying, personally.

I like it by I suggest to use a different background color and maybe a smaller font (like my own blog) for the daily link posts. I mean something to make them different from other posts

I started doing this last week with my MyWeb2.0 links. It posts to my Typepad blog in real time, no programming required (since Typepad now knows how to hork up and republish RSS feeds).

Another option is to use FeedDigest to syndicate the feed in the sidebar of your blog. I wish Wikalong worked, to wikize the sidebar of every site. Then the idea of commenting on your links wouldn't be of interest, people could just see them and then go edit the wikalong sidebar. Unfortunately, the page history function was busted last time I visited. No page history=no wiki.

I don't know, are you going to post things like "so and so is a fucktard" with your links? Given the frequency with which disabled people are sexually assaulted, that's a pretty fucking ugly word.

That's nice, now I can unsubscribe from your del.icio.us links feed.

This just gave me the excuse needed to kill your blog in my rss reader.

I'm liking the linkposts.
It looks like the entry after this one is broken (no archives, no comments).
I wanted to post a comment there, but I'll say it here.

Part of why Flickr people are upset at the Yahoo! login requirement is because it is such a clunky interface. No matter what computer or browser, it won't remember you're logged in for a consistent amount of time. Why can't they allow people to choose how this is handled? Even hotmail can get this together, why not Yahoo!?

What do you use to generate the blog entry automatically ?
Does myweb2 allow you to post on other blogs ?

That would be great.

404 on your latest link "Daily Links for 2005-08-30":

You wouldn't have the same webmaster as John Battelle, would you? ;)

Feel free to do so, but please offer a feed without links, too.

Thanks.

The only benefit I see is the possibility to comment, but that is outweighed by the annoyingness (IMHO), since most people I know read link-feeds and blog-feeds seperately.

Is there another way to add comments to the links that's not too much trouble for you? If there is I'd prefer that to the current situation.

I think it's a bad idea,

I just got here wondering why your blog is so d* popular. It's pretty obvious (from here) people care what you think.

Maybe if you posted only 1 link with the words "this is nice" you could trick us into thinking it's a blog post.

I didn't even look what the links are, you have more as enough old writings here I didn't check out so it wasn't quite the time to leave just jet.

Could you imagine anyone visiting and leaving again within the same 10 sec - after reading nothing?

I'm very interested in the topic and did some not -so-very productive research on merging content from various places.

I cant help but think that we visit web pages to do 1 thing alone. The rest is just annoyance I'm afraid.

I like it, means I only have 1 feed to subscribe to instead of two.

I find it very annoying. It just adds unnecessary clutter to your feed. You'd be better off starting a separate linkblog.

I've made it optional for my subscribers courtesy of Feedburner, which lets you splice Flickr images and del.icio.us links along with a regular feed:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/ianlangworth/all

Or, folks can subscribe to individual feeds with ../journal, ../images, or ../links

OK well, let's try this time.

I think those links are more highlighted than on your
Link Blog... In this sense it's quite good I'd say put
the Recent Pictures below the Recent Links, but that's
just my opinion....
Now yeh it's true when coming here, I wanna read an
entry and not be linked to another place in the
"first" place"

It's a bit annoying, rather just have a seperate feed for your links.

I get a 404 with this link (8-31 links):

I find it annoying when people do that. By all means make the links available in a feed, but I (and I imagine, many other feed users) am interested in content, not in links. They just increase the noise to content ratio. Having them available separately for those who want them makes sense. One post a day in your feed with just your links in it does not.

The world is full of undigested lists of links. I just ignore them if I can; I have better things to do.

It looks like your daily links are going to be unavoidable. The automatic posts are more frequent than the actual content. If that is true, I'll be unsubscribing.

I think with this number of comments the sidebar looks kind of empty.

This comment page has a better page rank as my blog. lol so I guess you could put a paypal button on it and sell links. hehehe

I think it's worth it, keep it up.
