I just removed 31 non-working links just from the sidebar. (Edit: I took out the whole darn thing. What’s the point, right?) I shudder to think how many more are buried in entries going back as far as Spring of 2001, when this site began. Sure, blogs may not be as “in” as they once were, but I still think they (not including this one) are far superior online experiences than any social networking site yet devised. This is not an apples-to-apples comparison, of course, but it seems that’s where most people’s original content is being shared these days, and in that sense, these two entities compete for attention. One thing I *don’t* see on Facebook, etc., is original writing. Cat pictures, re-links to ephemera-of-the-day, sure, but for lengthy exposition, blogs still rule. If only I had something to say.
