I still stand by what I said, though. There was at least one great discussion of this topic on the Gillmor Gang podcast. If I appear elitist and selfish, it's probably because I am, if you take the virtuous meanings of those concepts. Hey JJinux, Microsoft isn't dead. It's just got a cold. :P I appreciate the argument around not linking being against the spirit of the Web. I still stand by what I said, though.

Nowhere in your post was I mentioned, and yet I still knew to read it! Furthermore, without even linking to me, I knew what my homepage was! Wow! Damn Google is good! Microsoft is dead! ;) (humor)

Couldn't disagree more with "there isn’t much point to hyperlinking references in your text" And the whole "clueful people" thing sounds elitist. Not linking makes one look selfish. Linking is what makes the web, well, the web. Best advice I could give when it comes to listening to Steve Gillmor is “don’t.”
