Are the “Internets of Interest” Articles Useful and Worth Continuing ?

6th November 2009 By 9 Comments

I regularly post articles with a title of “Internets of Interest” with a collection of things that I found useful.

For example, the latest can be found IN THIS POST and a full list is HERE

As you can see, I typically aim to have three things on each article: the link, an extract from the article and some comment about what made it interesting for me.

What I would like to know is whether you think this is worth continuing or is it just noise that interrupts your reading pleasure of the other material that I write and post here.

    Hey Greg,

    I love the Internets of Interest, please keep them! I especially like that they are not just copies of links from other blog posts of the day, they are almost always unique news or information that I have not seen anywhere else.

    They’re good, but could be more useful if the content was displayed in my RSS reader and I could click through right there.

  • http://blog.ioshints.info Ivan Pepelnjak

    YES, keep going ;)

  • http://alouche.net Ali Abbas

    Yeah, keep it up, even though the “Network Dictionary” is definitely my favorite :)

  • brettp

    Yes! As a buffing network engineer, some links are incredibly helpful. Others are funny/interesting and some are just a skimover.

    Thank you!

    eh, I meant “budding”, not buffing. Sorry.

    Not to me, but the beauty of the RSS reader is that I can just ignore them.

    I do enjoy your “Internets of Interest”, though I have to admit I generally use it as a “time-waster” in the office. One thing that would make your blog exponentially more useful, is if we could get full blog posts in feedburner, instead of simple titles.

    Keep up the good work!

      I’m in two minds about that. When I spend a whole bunch of time designing a web site, I kinda want people to look at it. So it’s kind of a pride thing. But I know what you mean and I’ll give it some thought.
