In Praise of Links

osteophage.neocities.org

Hyperlinks deserve more recognition in light of all the ways their value has been sidelined and denied. From deliberate corporate link suppression to link-shy site cultures on social media to the dysfunctional state of deteriorating search engines, the web has changed a lot over the years since the days of early link-based web logs, and a familiarity with the importance of links can no longer be taken for granted. It needs to be expressly advocated. To that end, I present a link compilation in praise of links.

This appeared in my feed today and I like the idea of it. Bubbles seems to be a “Hacker News but for non techy blogs”, that curated a bunch of RSS feeds from blogs and every post is shared, but some float to the top (the ones that have votes), and some sink down. Nice analogy, hopefully it ends up a successful project 👍
