I Love Link

An Ode to the Link.

I love links. They’re like magic. Transporting you all across the Web with just a click.

It’s why I love Twitter. Links, lots of links. Behind each shortened URL is a wealth of knowledge and information.

I love Bit.ly for their innovative approach to making something as mundane as a URL shortener a breakout category.

I love Zemanta because they add all these links in my post plus all the links at the bottom of the post.

These simple links are the only think connecting the entire Web. They’re small but there are billions of them. Maybe Trillions of them, I don’t know.

I think most people take them for granted. I know that most of you don’t click through on the links I leave here. It would be impossible to click every link.

I love link blogs that people post. I love that some people who don’t have regular blogs use their Google Reader shared page or Delicious link blog as their blog.

Basically, I love link.
