http://www.43folders.com/2008/08/19/good-blogs “What Makes for a Good Blog?” I didn’t realise people considered via links so important. I’ve never posted them here because they seem like a very crude way of allocating credit: finding and posting a link is often trivial (often it’s the source’s source who has done the work, for example). Also, people tend to use via links to attract attention or cosy up to other bloggers. I agree via links are sometimes interesting though, so I’ll think about adding them. (In contrast to an individual link, an entire blog does represent a significant chunk of work, which is why I have a blogroll.) 09:18
