Some new things on this site or in progress:
Twitter feed
We’re not the most active tweeters in the world, and we RT as much as we tweet (possibly more than we tweet), but we do think that the things we mention or pass along in that stream are of interest. As of this post, it’s in the righthand sidebar. Of course, you could just follow our account.
Delicious Stream
We were pretty respectable Delicious users once upon a time, back when it was del.icio.us and then some. But we fell off as time went on. Now that we can and do find and share links in many ways, it’s gotten easier again to tie those ways together (in part provided RSS sticks around). I’ve brought the Delicious link feed back — to the righthand sidebar as of this post — and hope it will be of use. Other feeds that we have out there may get brought back as and if we reactivate our work with the backing sites.
Broken Links and Other Cleanup
Every now and then, we run Integrity, a linkchecker, on the site to make sure we’re keeping content accurate where we have control over it. Our rule of thumb is that when we link out, we’re depending on the target to provide a permalink or reasonable facsimile thereof. We’ve sometimes got to dig to find it, but that’s the goal. Site we have read/write access to, however, we need to check on every now and then. We hope you’ll benefit from these, even though we know it’s small-margin work. But trying to keep our corner of the open web free-flowing is work worth doing.
