Just a quick addendum to an earlier post, Rethinking Links, where I discussed new ways to handle link ’round-up’ content. Courtesy of ScottBerkun.com comes TrueHoop Tuesday Bullets at ESPN.com. This format uses bullet points to discuss ideas and events while working the links into the coverage. I particularly like this method because it focuses mainly on the ideas and meaning behind the links, and places them in their wider context.

I actually like that too. Though it’s not my style, I’ve seen it in Ogle Earth a famous geospatial blog.

Ah, thanks for the link Miguel. The style certainly won’t be for everyone, especially considering that the links round-up is generally used as quick and breezy content when the author hasn’t got much time. This format, on the other hand, seems to be just as involved and wordy as any other type of content. So it has the advantage of depth but perhaps sheds one of the advantages of the link-round up, being that it’s generally easier than other types of content to create.
