To del.icio.us or To livejournal -- Whither Does It Go?
From time to time I look outside my little world to learn about the rest of the world. Occasionally knowledge happens to be in the form of news articles I find on the web. I bookmark some of these links.
I travel light, and hence I prefer to have my bookmarks stored on a remote server in public domain so that I can access them from any machine connected to the web.
And thus my del.icio.us account started, courtesy
splogs (who used to be the source of a lot of new web technologies that I came to know about).
It turns out that del.icio.us is also a social bookmarking site -- meaning that unless made explicitly private, links one bookmarks can be seen by everybody. Now that's precisely what I'd like. There are some links that I'd like to share with people. Some are not amenable to blogging or emailing and hence end up on my del.icio.us site.
But here's the catch...most people I know don't know about my del.icio.us account, and hence there's the danger of the links not really reaching people. Such as the following ones.
Anyway...the point is that there are some links that I really want to share, and they're now on both del.icio.us and on livejournal. I guess the title question is now moot. ;)

- On habits (not hobbits, you silly folk).
- or this one on the existence or not of half a bee.
- or the Umpqua river (inside the forest) on the banks of which my friend and I drove -- through almost the whole length of the river.
- or mathematical puzzles from folks in the Math and Computer Science departments at CMU.
