Thoughts on del.icio.us daily posting

Now that it’s been a while since I started allowing del.icio.us to post links to my blog each day, I want to consider what effects it has had.

Certainly, it makes my blog look more active (more active than it is, really). I’m not sure, though, that that is a good thing. These link posts are getting a small amount of traffic, but my guess is that it’s mostly from people who see that there is a link to their blog post, or their site, or whatever. Maybe it benefits the people who run those blogs, or those sites. Hopefully it does, but I’m not sure. It might make me look like nothing but a link farm.

In any case, I’d like to invite any comments on the link postings. Are they useful? Are they appreciated? Should they continue?

Note: In all likelihood, when the coming redesign occurs (right after I stop being so busy with random things), the format of the daily link post will change. Perhaps there will be a sidebar item where the last daily link post is displayed. Certainly, though, it will not be displayed in the main content like it is now. Thus, I’m not entirely sure if I’ll leave it in the RSS feed.

Anyway. Thoughts are welcomed.
