Order of the Bath

While reading the article in the New York Times linked by my previous post I noticed that there wasn’t a single link out for more information—not even the author’s blog was linked. By coincidence, the very next article I read from my daily RSS feed review was the web guru Tim O’Reilly on a very similar topic. That is that many web sites prefer to link to other articles or even just searches on their own site rather than more informative links to the outside world. Traditional news providers are bad for this but he notes that even search engines are beginning to provide information rather than link to it.

The web grew great on links—to continue it still needs those links.
