As you may have noticed, the daily del.icio.us link posts that I've been using for about a month crapped out last night, so I retroactively "manually" posted all of those links this morning.

Some of you have expressed a dislike for the del.icio.us linkdump formatting, but I tend to prefer it because it doesn't require me to make individual posts for links that I feel don't require a lot of commentary, extensive formatting, or accompanying images. It also means that on days where I'm busy (or just lazy), at least you'll get a post with sites that I was able to quickly "tag" during the day as opposed to nothing at all. Finally, I think that the compact formatting lends itself to lots of quick link posts, which as you can see take up a lot more real estate as individual posts.

On the other hand, the daily del.icio.us linkdumps are lumped together as one post, which means that it's more difficult to later refer back to an individual link. It may also mean that someone who wants to comment on a post may decide not to because it wouldn't necessarily be obvious which link is being referred to. That last point is particularly hard to gauge, as commenting has dropped precipitously for several months now, but who knows?

What do you think? Please give me some feedback so that I can make an educated decision on whether to abandon the linkdump format for individual posts.
