Blinks: Brief Links

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

The preceding entry is an example of a new concept that Hylton and I came up with: Blinks. These are one-liner blog entries, calling out something of interest that we think Get Real readers might be interested in, but not necessarily requiring paragraphs of context or analysis.

Enjoy them. Send pointers that you think would be suitable as Get Real blinks.

Cool, but isn't that just another name for "linkblog"?

Also, Mark Pilgrim used the term "Blinks" for his linkblog.

But I'm all for it, I like linkblogs. :-)

I think this is a great idea. Looking forward to linking your blinks!

I like to put a brief description in my "link blog entries" in a SPAN before the /A. Works well for a MouseOver.

Nick - I looked at your site. How do you get span text to pop on mouseover? Is it the class spec for "info"? Send it over, I'll use it!
