Hot:

This is a Weekly (or so) mailing from one of the sites more prolific providers of cool and interesting stuff.  As such I enjoy hosting it as long as the posts keep coming in.  Essentially if it’s a cool gadget, computer or not (we’ve shown bicycles, shower heads for example); affects your privacy online; funny or entertaining (subjective of course); or just news worth promoting because the mainstream missed it, you’ll find it on Links13.

The email is sent once there is 13 stories of interest and is dispensed of in a standard fashion including a title, a blurb that may try to be funny, and a link.  Most of the links are ’shortened’ to http://jamesfriesen.net/xxx, and will redirect you to the appropriate page.  This was done for a couple reasons.

• I hate LONG/SEO-enabled links as they’ve become incredibly wordy and long. (I think I said that, but just in case, they’re long)
• I did not want to rely on a 3rd party URL Shortener in case they mysteriously vanish leaving all the links dead, or they become spamvertised, etc.
• I want to see what you are visiting so I can see what you (the list subscriber) are interested in, then I can recommend more of the same.
• I want to see what you are not interested in so I can stop such links from appearing on the list.  If no one cares then why have them?
• They should work well with micro-blogs and Twitter where space is a concern.

So again, to sign up, subscribe, become a member/contributor click on this link and start enjoying Links13.
