🔖 Simon Willison on Link Blogs
Simon Willison publishes tons of great links to Generative AI related news and projects on his blog and link blog. I started following him about a year ago and he's been an invaluable and informative resource. He has some great thoughts on link blogging in general and published a nice post on this topic at the end of December.
My approach to running a link blog
This was particularly timely as link blogging is something I've done off and on over the years and something I'd like to do more of in 2025. I wholeheartedly agree with his thoughts on attribution and adding value. And no question John Gruber has been a big influence on me as well:
There are a lot of great link blogs out there, but the one that has influenced me the most in how I approach my own is John Gruber's Daring Fireball. I really like the way he mixes commentary, quotations and value-added relevant information.
