Bloglines link blog revisited

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So you know how I setup a quick link blog using my bloglines subscriptions, right? There is one definite drawback, just using the one-click “Link blog this” on items in Bloglines creates a link not to the original item, but to the item in the feed that bloglines has pulled and left on their site. So to go from the link blog to the original item on the original blog takes two clicks instead of one. Not great, but then again, I set this up to bookmark things mostly for myself, and it takes no effort at all to put things there, so I guess I’ll take the good with the bad and call it even. By the way, it has it’s own RSS feed, if you’re interested in following along the things I find interesting enough to want to clip for myself. It probably also means I won’t be doing a lot of “link roundup” type of posts here anymore, which should mean perhaps slightly fewer posts, but more posts just about my ideas and experiences.

Update: There are also no comments or anything else fancy on the link blog, so if you see something over there you want to discuss feel free to either blog it yourself and/or drop me an email about it. (webmaster at you know where….)

There’s some good points about airport security and how some people are using the increased airport security to try and get you separated from your laptop so they can walk off with it from the checkpoints.

  • My contribution to the RSS bandwidth question

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    As discussed in the comments, using Bloglines might be considered a better way to limit the bandwidth I use in checking on feeds, since it checks once an hour and shares the feed with all of the subscribers to that feed. So I decided to give it a try. It’s better than I thought it…

    Not Feeling the Buzz

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    Like most of you, my gmail account was integrated into Google’s new “Buzz” social networking tool, and unlike many in the blogosphere, I decided to give it a little while before commenting on it. So, after using it for a few days, and seeing what the “early” commentators had to say, I’d have to say…
