Moving My Bookmarks to My Garden
I've previously written about the idiosyncrasies of IndieWeb bookmarks, and how I consider them to be qualitatively different from other IndieWeb posts. The differences boil down to my relationship with them. For me, they are primarily a collection of references, not a way I interact with the world. Unlike notes or articles, sharing them isn't a priority; I don't particularly care about shouting my bookmarks from the digital soapbox that is my blog.
Other people obviously differ here, and I'm vaguely aware of the notion of social bookmarking, and now defunct services like delicious, but that's just not how I use them. My bookmark posts always felt a bit out of place on my website, much more subject to whims of deletion and reorganization than other forms of content.
