The position of response: A better kind of link Love?

I see a lot of bloggers who regularly give to "link love" for the positions that they enjoyed last week. There are many problems with doing so:

1 Which include you? It is too easy to forget someone, making them feel left out. Conversely, it is too easy to include everyone, just if anyone is feeling left out. Doing this means you can compromise the quality of the links that share you.


2 How often do you? Not often enough and loads of posts will be missed simply because they are not new (things move quickly online!). Too often and it can become the only thing that you post. If every second or third position is a "link love" marathon, it hurt.


3. Would be easier to share ties as and when they come, on Twitter or Google? It is likely, if you will save the end of the week, many people who would be interested in the post will have seen their already.


Even if you try to add comments on each link, how many people will really want to click on all links from a position?


Instead of the traditional "link love" post, why not find a position that you found particularly good, bad or reflection and write a post of your own in response to it? This seems far more valuable than to try to cram loads of links to different positions in a single one of your own messages.


You have to do with regularity. You can simply write a post "response" you come through the post that you feel would be given a detailed response. Also, I much prefer this approach to write a very long comment on the original message.


When you have finished, why does not the author of the original post with a link to your e-mail response? He could hire a good discussion!


How give you to "link love"?
