What do you ...Okay, you link to everyone who asks. What do you do when you're asked by 1,200 people? That's PZ Myer's position. <br /><br />Personally, I'm not upset about deleting someone from a blogroll - I didn't link to a blog for the benefit of that blog - I linked to it for the benefit of my readers. The problem is that I'm a busy guy, and didn't maintain my blogroll.<br /><br />As an engineer, I wanted a way to connect the blogs I'm already reading to my blogroll in an automatic way - with some filtering attached because sometimes I read some sick, unsavory things. (James Dobson comes to mind.)<br /><br />Automatically linking to individual posts that I think are neat or relevant is a good way of being much more 'liberal' in directing my reader's attention to people I think are worth their time. <br /><br />Naturally those blogs I read more often will have links more often. And if you click on the "read more" link you'll see the older articles that have rolled outside of the blogclip box.<br /><br />I don't think that the "link to everyone" philosophy is sustainable - I keep thinking "WWBBD?"
