If You Were Inventing the Link List Today...

Yeah and in a traditional sense that's true, but if link lists never were invented until today I don't really think they would be all that similar to what we know as link lists today.

After all, link lists came before social media, mobile browsing, and tube sites. Plus back than I don't think Google looked at the higher number of outgoing links in such a negative way. I could be wrong about this one, but I don't think I am.

I have never heard of this, but I like the concept. Seems like no matter what new technology comes along the website will be ready for it.



I personally tend to lean towards the simple side of things when designing my own stuff, but I do think something of a social media style would be quite cool and could work well.

So how would you do design tests to test these various models?

My tests involve duct taping a bunch of scripts together, then setting it free. Which is to say, I don't test. I just launch. You know, there's a reason I'm not a great success story, and it's not due to my excellent planning and organizational skills.

there was a time when you could throw anything up and make money off it.

now, we are like fish trapped in a shrinking pond - and the pond will be gone in a few more years.

some of us will specialize in taking what we can from the pools left as the water vanishes. most will die. then the ones left in the isolated pools will die.

if any of us want to survive, we are going to have to get smarter fast.

it's obvious to me how you would test it, even tho I don't beleive in any of the models offered so far.

This came out today - and seems somehow very relevant to this discussion. But I'm a netsam freek, so of course I would think that... and who doesn't like a good Der Untergang mashup?
