Okay...

I know I post a *lot* of links. In fact, that's the bulk of my posts. The more I read, the more I try to lump them together, but I'm afraid that the more I lump them together, the less likely any link will be read, and I'm not posting them entirely for my own edification. And I can't just comment on all of the links, my sarcasm sense would burn out fast.

So. Um. About how many links have to be in a post before your eyes glaze over and you click on none of them? This isn't a poll, just a question.

Edit: What about if I stored up most of my links every day, and posted them in one swell foop, in a post divided into neat categories like "Civil rights" and "Politics" and "Reproductive rights" and stuff like that? There'd still be a lot of links, but it'd be easier to find the ones you're interested in, and I'd still be reducing the sheer volume of posts I make every day.

Adding to reply to your edit... I think that labeled sets would work -- perhaps use filters so people see what they want, too? (I've noticed a lot of my flist does this, and it is very helpful.)

It would be a bit more work for you, but it also would result in more people actually reading what you put up. (As it is, things do seem to get buried. I know that sometimes I see your link posts, mentally mark them as "get back to this later" then never do -- so even if they do contain something I care about, like the mother of the AS teen a while ago, since it's all a jumble I don't always follow through.)

Sorry for being so rambly...it's been two solid days of running medical errands with my mother after her lovely ER experience, and I am completely tired out. :-p

The problem with filters is that then my entries wouldn't be public.

Hm. Now, that's one way to use tags, if it could be possible... to filter on whose Friends lists the entries end up, without preventing anybody from seeing the entries once they visit your journal....

And don't be sorry. *hugs* I hope your mother is doing better.
