# post.icio.us

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do a daily Web 2.0 update with links – without being, you know… one of those blogs that just links to other blogs. What I’m looking for is **something in-between del.icio.us and a ‘real’ post**.

My [‘Web 2.0 News’ posts](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508063255/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/002694.php) from 1-2 weeks ago were a bit too long and time-intensive to write. So what I’m looking for is something akin to what Zeldman does, e.g. [Linkos. The freshmaker.](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508063255/http://www.zeldman.com/daily/0405e.shtml)

He has the ingredients of what I want to do:

1\) Witty post title 2) 5 original-ish links, 1 with a quote and 4 with one-line Zeldman comments.

He gets extra marks for a fresh take on an old story (dogs playing poker) and being a bit arty in his comments (“Project d’art”).

[Steve Gillmor describes](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508063255/http://blogs.zdnet.com/Gillmor/?p=85) the kind of thing I’m looking for as a “post-del.icio.us fraglet style” (although he may’ve been high when he wrote that… I’m kidding).

So anyway, I’d be grateful for your advice…

## What would you prefer to see on Read/Write Web, in addition to the long-form original posts?

**a)** A daily Web 2.0 News/links update, in the Zeldman style.

**b)** A straight daily dump of Web 2.0 news/links – a la [my Saturday morning effort](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508063255/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/002702.php).

**c)** An individual post for each story/link (which really would be like everybody else and it’d probably result in 4-5 short posts per day… I’m not keen on this option).

**d)** Forget the links dude, just stick to your knitting – long posts with original analysis and writing.

**e)** Another option??

Please be so kind as to leave a comment 🙂
