Link Blogging
I’ve been toying with link blogging recently. I know some big guns like Steve Rubel post their del.icio.us links regularly on their blog.
While I read blogs voraciously, I don’t always have the time to respond to everything I read with a post of my own, so link blogging gives me the chance to share with you what cool stuff I’ve read and pass a few comments on it.
A little-known fact about me is that I’m a non-conformist. I hate doing what everybody else is doing. So, instead of using del.icio.us as my bookmarking tool of choice, I’ll be using the grossly underrated ma.gnolia bookmarking service. I’ve been playing with ma.gnolia recently and really enjoying some of its social features, which I’ll cover in a later post.
The tool I’m using to achieve the regular link blog is the Postalicious plugin for WordPress.

Postalicious is really a great plugin i use for the same purpose.

We’re looking forward to reading your impressions about Ma.gnolia, and about how the Postalicious plugin works for you as well. Though we will be writing our own daily blog post tool, we like to see how well existing work can be re-used, and what gaps it doesn’t fill.

Todd: Ma.gnolia posts in the pipeline. Unfortunately the day job is trumping the blogging at the moment!
If you’re building your own daily blog post tool, perhaps consider allowing us to filter content by tag. This would allow me to post stuff to Interweb World by tagging items “interweb”.
At the moment, since it’s so generalized I restrict my Ma.gnolia bookmarks to tech-related content.
Oh, and if you’re going down that route, perhaps also allow posting to multiple blogs?
