I love old trains…

Uncategorized 3 Minutes

Why are there some train pictures (old steam engine) on my link blog tonight? Cause I love old trains. Shoot me.

Skip over the first page of stuff and go for the meat. The tech blogs continue amazing me with the quality of info and opinions. Oh, heck, I just posted some photos of a B-17 that’s been buzzing Silicon Valley, too. I love reading blogs. I learn a lot, get experiences I’d never be able to have, get the latest tech news, and keep in touch with my friends.

  1. I guess I’m half the man you are, Scoble. I only read 509. Heh.

    Your sharing rate appears to be a lot higher than mine though. I certainly didn’t share 50 items (close to your 10% rate). (My Shared Items)

    I’m still waiting for the Google Reader team to make it easy to discover other shared link blogs, show “most shared links”, etc. Then we’d be getting somewhere.

  3. One of the ways of addressing comment spam with WordPress would be for a better interface on the comment and akismet pages. If the information could be grouped by various headings – such as email, IP or web address – it would be far easier to manage.

  7. Yeah…not so much Robert. It just keeps making the case that you ought to actually stop posting unless you have something to say. You keep this up, and all this is going to be is an entry point to your link blog.

    It’s the blogger’s big insecurity thought isn’t it? you need to post a lot to keep your “A-List” rating, but what do you do when you’ve nothing to say, even if it’s only to keep the echo chamber going?

    To quote Yul Brynner: “Is…a Puzzlement!”

    Well chin up, I’m sure that in no time, you’ll have another engadget – style issue going on for you to ping about, and life will be good once again.

  11. Makes me wonder if you actually read these articles or if you skim over them and repost them randomly. I guess it doesn’t really make a difference.

  13. Chris: over on the Four Hour Workweek blog I showed how I do a first-pass to find interesting items, but I read everything I put on my link blog.

    John: yeah, that’s pretty close to the truth. But with 100 interesting things a day to read, there’s a lot of value in being an aggregator/editor.

  15. Hi Robert –

    I enjoyed being on the panel with you yesterday at Market to the Max in Seattle. I picked up some cool ideas from you…going to get out there a bit more and explore some new online communication avenues you chatted about. Do you not sleep or have you just mastered how to read and post material to your link blog while asleep?

    Take care.

    Somewhat. The feedback loop – nature of what you see on blogs makes that less interesting. Now, someone who traced the echos back to the source, and gave you a list of original sources would have some real value. But stuff like Techmeme? Not so useful.
