My Links – What are they?

You may have seen my last post and thought 5 random links…  What are they there for!

Well I’ll tell you.

I have signed up to delicious – What is Delicious?

Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows you to tag, save, manage and share Web pages all in one place. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet.

For me this means, whatever computer I am on, if I see something worth sharing I can instantly add it to my Delicious bookmarks and then share them with you here using a wonderful plugin called Postalicious.

Postalicious allows me to completely customise when my delicious links get posted to the Barsley Brief.  Currently I have set it to post a new article when there are a minimum of 5 new links as long as it has been atleast a week since the last post.  (However I haven’t quite got it working yet)  If anybody knows why it isn’t updating every hour I would be grateful if you could tell me the fix for this!

What will I link to

It will be a mixture, everything from a website I use everyday, software I have used for years (eg Digiguide),  A interesting news article, Right down to just a silly video to brighten your day.

I already had some links when I first installed Postalicious.  As these were older than Postalicious it didn’t pick them up, so here they are.  If you have any links worth checking out let me know!

They have been used by MI6, the Public Record Office (PRO) and BT, and are now surplus to requirement.

• GiftSOS

  - Whenever I am looking for gifts for friends I come straight to Gift SOS. Why go to individual retailers when you can see all the options in one place!

• The TWiT Netcast Network with Leo Laporte

  - I’m a big fan of podcasts, my only problem is finding time to listen to them all, as a result I am constantly subscribing and unsubscribing from different podcasts. One though which I have always remained subscribed to is TWIT – This Week in Tech, this is the original podcast from the TWIT network. Hosted by Leo Laporte (an American Tech journalist / TV and Radio Presenter) it is a round table discussion of the latest technology news. Always an interesting listen with great guests, good stories and ramblings! A must listen.

• Cool Bus Stops around the World

  - Another Marketing post! Don’t I realise I’m a merchandiser!! This time of a blog which specialises in top ten lists of oddities. Not always good but a great top 10 of innovative bus stops. Some like the IKEA or Quicksilver ones really stand out as promoting a brand identity. Others like the one in Dubai are functional.

• YouTube – experiencewii’s Channel

  - I thought this was a really innovative use of YouTube for viral advertising. Not sure what the games like mind you but I know I have been telling people to check out the trailer! I won’t spoil the surprise here though!
