Linking Frenzy

After reading Linking 1-2-3 by Lawerence Lee I realized that there is so much information about all of our subjects. It is just ridiculous to see the amount of news/articles/commentary about my topic of the environment. Lee opens up many doors for us. For example, the websites that provide the service of letting their readers know about a story that is still being finished before the complete story is published. I cannot believe that. Journalism has changed drastically, hasn’t it?

Another thing Lee touched on was the fact that a couple sites are trying to better the linking system. “There are two sites that are at least making some attempts to accommodate linking that will continue to work a week later.” Isn’t that so frustrating? To search and to search and finally find a great link and then a week later it is pulled from the web. Or even the link is copied down wrong. How depressing!
