Simon Willison shares his thoughts on maintaining a link blog - a curated collection of interesting links with personal commentary. What resonates with me is how link blogs serve dual purposes: they’re both a personal knowledge management tool and a way to share discoveries with others.

Key points from Simon’s article that I find compelling:

• Link blogs help build a personal archive of interesting content
• They encourage active engagement with content through commentary
• The practice combines personal note-taking with public sharing
• It’s a lightweight form of blogging that’s easier to maintain than full articles

This aligns perfectly with my goal of both keeping personal notes and sharing interesting findings with others. A link blog can serve as a bridge between private note-taking and public sharing, making it easier to contribute to the broader conversation while building a personal knowledge base.
