A linklog is a website where a person maintains a list of links in chronological order, often with brief comments and tags for organization. They can be standalone or subsections of larger websites, and can be crowdsourced. Interaction is encouraged, and some sites have forums or charity projects. Linklogs vary in size and quality, and newcomers should be aware of site etiquette.
A linklog is a website where someone maintains a list of links, often in web log or blog format, with entries presented in chronological order and marked for reference. People can run linklogs as standalone websites or as subsections on larger websites and blogs, depending on the purpose of the linklog and their interests. Software is available to help people administer hookup lists, and people can also use regular blogging software or update the site manually if they feel comfortable doing so.
The presentation of material on a linklog can vary widely. In some cases, each entry is a self-contained link and no additional information is provided. Other linklogs may provide some brief comments on the link and the content found there. Tags and categories can be used for organization to make it easier to find related links by topic or interest. Most sites have a search capability so that users can search the archives for older links.
The admin can be a single person or the links can be crowdsourced. You can have a theme, such as gathering strange news, articles on the Internet related to a particular topic of interest, and so on. Linkloggers can also exchange links with each other, creating a partnership network with other people interested in curating links and exchanging information. Some sites are blocked, available only to registered users, and others may have restricted areas for registered users or people who confirm they are over 18 years of age.
In a community link log where users can contribute links, interaction is often encouraged. Links may have comments sections, allowing people to discuss the link, and the site may also maintain a forum for people to talk to each other. Site users can get involved in projects like tagging old links, checking for broken links, or getting the site involved in charity work where users work together to raise money for a specific cause. Users can also host meetings or arrange get togethers at events such as conventions if they are interested in expanding their interactions.
Linklogs vary greatly in size and quality. Some become very well known and may have their own specific community norms and mannerisms, important that newcomers need to be aware of so they can conduct themselves appropriately and follow site etiquette. Many of these sites are open to the public for free, allowing people to explore a linklog before engaging in comments or starting link posting.
