Saturday May 31, 2008 Howto share your web-browsing experience...
- Get an account at a bookmark-aggregation site, e.g. ma.gnolia (del.icio.us if you prefer, but their HTTP RPC API seems to be unreliable).
- Add their "bookmark a site" smart-booklet to your browser's toolbar, and/or install their browser extension (GNOME's epiphany browser already supports ma.gnolia and del.iciou.us - install the epiphany-extensions stuff). Ma.gnolia have a nifty, web-2.0, AJAX bookmarklet thing that's quite cool.
- Link to your bookmark-aggregation account's feed from your site, so that those who are interested may subscribe to it.
- Consult the documentation of your bookmark-aggregation site to see if they have some handy javascript you can stick in the template of your blog that auto-includes your latest bookmarks in a side-bar (e.g. ma.gnolia do - see my blogs web site).
- If you have a social-network profile, check if a plugin is available to connect your bookmark-aggregation account together with it.
- Don't enable your bookmark-aggregation site's "post linkroll to blog" feature, especially not if you already know your blog is syndicated by blog aggregators (if you don't know, it probably is).
Really, despite what your ego says, your web-browsing habits are unlikely to be more interesting than the various mechanisms that your bookmark/tag aggregator already supplies for finding interesting links, which other people already use, cause link-rolls are tedious..
This was originally a comment on another blog, but either I forgot to hit "submit" or it got deleted.
