This is the first in a series of posts I’m going to do in an effort to get some of my favorite links archived in my blog. I’ll be digging through my links archive in delicious and some of my own old posts and pulling out some of my favorites.

As I started this process today I was surprised at how the main stream media (let’s call them non-bloggers) just don’t get it with respect to the internet. So many of the old links were invalid (link rot) because the host sites either expired the articles or moved them (changed the URLs). They seem to have no clue about the importance of permalinks (one great aspect of blogs) nor search-engine traffic. Yahoo is notorious for expiring articles. WTF? As cheap as disk space is these days surely they can archive those articles instead of deleting them.

Here’s the first batch of links:
