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

November 6, 2009 by Greg Ferro · 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.

Sorry, there are no polls avail­able at the moment.

Any other com­ments you would like to make can be done in the com­ments below, or if you would like to con­tact me privately use the con­tact page..

  1. 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.

  3. Ali Abbas says:

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

  4. brettp says:

    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.

  6. 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.
