So, I've been doing the bookmarking through Delicious for approaching a month and a half now. I'm definitely liking it, a click to bring up the window, a few more for tags, and then either write a description, or have selected text from the page to give it its description. Easy for me, and thus has resulted in a lot more linksharing than my previous intermittent efforts.
I'm now pondering doing it on Google+, possibly through a similar mechanism to what I'm using for LJ, through some crossposter, or whatever. But I figure that before I do so, it's worth taking stock.
Sure, the linkspam is partly for myself, to keep track of these things, spread things I think deserve to be seen, etc. But it's also a way of going "Hey! Look, this stuff is cool!" to my friends who read this LJ. And there's been some response to individual things I've linked in the comments, so at least some of it is piquing peoples' interests.
Thus it seems worth me asking what people like, if there's stuff they want me to link more, whatever other comments people have. No guarentees I'll actually follow any suggestions, but I'm definitely curious to find out what people think of my recent linkspammery.
In other news, waiting to find out if I have a fractured ankle. Weirdly, somewhat hoping I do, as that would at least explain what's wrong with it (the sprain having pretty much gone down now), and would make sense with the particular pains I've been having. If it's not that, there'll be more searching to work out what the hell it is.

But on the other hand, there's always going to be stuff that I don't link to, 'cause whilst I find it interesting, it's a particularly narrow thing, or there's a very specific reason I find it interesting. If I want to keep the bookmark, then I'll either add it to my browser bookmarks, or add it as a private one on delicious. But a lot of it, one reading is enough, so if there's not a reason to share it, then it doesn't get saved.
So, it's useful for me to know what, within the area of stuff I find interesting, other people find interesting.

Date: 2011-07-12 11:12 pm (UTC)To use D&D as an example, I'd post a general discussion of gaming, a discussion of D&D stuff relating to real life, or a discussion that seemed like it'd be interesting to non-D&Ders, but not something that assumed a given level of knowledge, and was not interesting without that.
