2003: The Year in Links
A blog is nothing without its links. Below, is a chronology of the 339 links I posted or cribbed in 2003, and speaking of "cribbed," I took this paragraph directly from last year's year-end review. For another year, my posting frequency is down, from an all-time high of 788 links in 2000, when blogging was young, and 589 links in 2001, and 473 links in 2002. Less linking, better sources, and yet there seems to be an awful lot of linkrot occuring. What's the deal? When something goes online it should stay there forever, or why bother posting it in the first place?
One trend that began in 2003, and gained a lot of momentum for me was posting only to my RSS feed and not directly to the blog, a process I call "invisible blogging;" all of the so-called cool kids read blogs through aggregators, so perhaps posting to the feed is a nod to them, while the "public" blog is for the general public. It will be interesting to see how that goes. Now that everyone and their mom has a blog, maybe it's not so cool to put everything worth blogging out to the hoi-polloi.
