Thank you Tom! Thank you, thank you, thank you. All due respect to Sandy, but I'd like to institute a fine for bloggers who post their links in their feed. Make a separate feed for them so the people who want them can grab them. For the rest of us, we want to hear what you have to say, not where you've been. If you find a link you want to share, make a post about it.

Tom …. Hear hear!!! Its actually worse that you suggest … some top name bloggers are using this technique as an excuse for not blogging.

Just because Delicios, and Magnolia provide the capability doesn’t mean people should use it.

Now let me see your post on Twitter!

i don’t mind it so much, but i often find it frustrating to see a link and a comment/description, and no way to comment on that! i’d rather see a separate blog post about notable links that i can contribute to.

Of course, everybody is at liberty to include what they want in their feed. But including links without thoughts reduces the overall value of your feed to me and many others. Make it a separate feed as a courtesy, I agree totally with your suggestion Tom.

Okay, how’s this for a compromise: I’ve created a feed that excludes the “links” posts, since they’re in a unique category. Both subscription options are offered in my sidebar, and I’ve added an explanatory post.

Tom, Jay and Ryan, since I’m sure that you consume all of your blog reading via feeds, this should work for you. Assuming that you even read my blog
