Great article Nick! I have thought of my competition more as teammates for some time now. There is plenty pie to go around for us all in cyberspace!

Danny … thanks for the list. I didn’t meant to get you worked up.

My comment originated by comparing the ratio of “How To” articles and “news posts”.

Great post Nick as usual..

//——-
small request for SEL would it be possible to place the author at the top of an article instead of the bottom ? It helps to know who the author is if I am short on time and only want to read stuff from my favorites. I almost skipped over this one.

Very good article indeed. I was thinking about doing something like this but I was a bit reluctant. Because of this article, I think I’ll try it. Thanks!

I didn’t even think SearchCap…. Just trying to drive conversation. :)

Hey Barry,

If you’re asking about your list of ‘elsewhere’ links in SearchCap I think they’re ok — they have value in context, but in general you could actually get away with a few words or a sentence depending on the context I think.

It’s not a black and white thing — judgement needed…

Great post Nick!

In your opinion, in regards to point #2….

“blindly linking without adding anything of value to the discussion”

How much value add is needed here?
