I agree with Marco as well about the cutesy and unneeded symbols.
But as irritating are blogs etc that just link stuff without any comment or analysis. That’s part of why I can’t read Daring Fireball. Don’t just link to the latest rumor, discuss it. Tell why it is possible or why it is totally bogus in your opinion. Add some value to the link
This is something I’ve struggled with in writing my own blog. I generally write my own stuff, but throughout the day I find neat things that I want to share. Glad I’ve been doing it right.
Thanks for sharing Marco’s very ethical take on link sharing and link attribution. I usually try to link to a direct source, not a link-share, but try to thank the “sharer” whenever possible. It’s helpful to see how a daily writer and industry leader treats links and attribution.
