Links loved, Twitter as aggregator

by coffeesister on 30 May 2008

Lookin’ for a little link love?! You may not have thought so but who can resist alliteration? Not I! Nor can I resist some well-placed love. The link lovin’ has been widespread lately, from Carolyn’s ingenious ‘Once Upon a Bloggy Night’ link meme through Harry’s excellent response to Bob’s thoughtful consideration of how best to do link posts. From the standpoint that there can never be enough love, I’m continuing the trend. This here first link post o’ mine will contain the blogs I read consistently via my personalized link aggregator; to wit, Twitter.

Failing to find the link from one “Found Fridays” post to the next? With a splash more alliteration & while speaking of linkage, I’m also taking this chance to reconsider my series of “Friday Finds.” The series/category was established to share each week’s found moments, either within or online. Although I am sharing my finds from week to week, there’s no consistency to the type of post it creates. I’d love feedback from those of you who’ve read more than one as I will be changing things up & will also be making Drink Deeply more interactive over time.

Take a tour of bloggers I follow on Twitter via the text links & discover the Twitterers behind the blogs via the avatars..

1 Jamie Grove - How Not To Write 31.05.08 at 3:36 pm: How on earth did I get on this list of awesome writers? And don’t say I’m awesome or handsome. Ok, you can say I’m handsome but only if no one tells my wife.

Alas, there’s proof that you are awesome & handsome.

I would never forget such a thing. Once my redesign’s done, you’ll be in the blogroll. For the record, this link love was for bloggers on Twitter. Know tho’ that you’re among other authors here..

13 Rene 04.06.08 at 2:15 pm: Dumb question but I’m gonna ask it anyways: how do you find interesting people and their blogs through Twitter? Is there some search function I’m not seeing? All I see is an address lookup.
14 coffeesister 20.06.08 at 9:55 am: I’m glad you asked, despite my lack of an actually helpful answer, because sincere questions are never dumb. However, the reason I have such a collection of blogging tweeters is simply that I check blogs I read for Twitter accounts. If there aren’t Twitter widgets, there are typically posts about Twitter which not only provide that blog’s accounts but its readers usernames too via the comments. Comments are, in fact, where I find many an interesting blogger (as well as Twitterer).
