As the Lifestream plugin and the RSS feed for my Delicious bookmarks aren’t playing nicely, I’m jettisoning the weekly link roundup in favor of a Links page. Previous Link Roundup posts have been removed, but the links shared remain accessible via Delicious and this blog’s Links page.

Why bother with the link roundup posts in the first place? I began publishing them after discovering Nicole Engard’s What I Learned Today, specifically her link sharing posts. I liked the idea of using shared bookmarks to not only organize and share information but also to convey learning, knowledge, interests, and even personality.

I originally compiled and published links in individual posts, but decided to give the Lifestream plugin a try after seeing it in use on Jenny Levine’s The Shifted Librarian. I’m not sure if or when I’ll start using it again- I’m doing a lot of my sharing via Facebook, Twitter, and Google Reader- but, until I stop using shared bookmarks for the reasons mentioned above, I’ll probably continue to share them here.
