A couple of folks have asked me about The Linked List indirectly. Questions such as where the quote I pulled on post “x” came from. These are Linked List items. It’s not an original idea of mine, I first became aware of this approach through Daring Fireball. Much of John Gruber’s content there is from his Linked List, where he will link to something, quote a portion of it and provide commentary.
I love this because I don’t often have time to write full-blown articles, but I find interesting stuff I want to link to and provide a little bit of commentary. The Linked List is a great way for me to do this. So how does it work?
If the item I have posted is a Linked List item, you will see an arrow after the title, and the title will link out to the linked post. Like this:
And below I will often pull a quote from the link and/or provide some commentary.
And that’s how The Linked List works.
