That 6 in favor and 5 against. Pretty evenly split. I’ll keep thinking about it.

Here’s the thing: If I know the links are being posted on the blog, I bookmark quite differently in del.icio.us. If stop posting them to the blog, they’ll stop being public in del.icio.us because I’ll just bookmark them for myself to blog about if/when I have time.

I’d make a second RSS feed that merged your del.icio.us feed with your blog feed if you want to continue distributing del.icio.us links.

Against, I hardly look at them in my reader. Your explanation and opinion is what most readers are looking for, if they just want your links they can follow you directly on del.icio.us

They’re helpful if you provide a short commentary of why you included it, not if it’s just the link.

Okay, Steve’s comment counts for 1.5 votes.

That’s 3 to 3.

Honestly, when these started showing up, it was almost enough to make me unsubscribe. That’s how much I dislike such posts from anybody. I did this for a while on my own blog and then quickly realized after seeing it on so many other blogs, how much I disliked it.

So far, that’s:
3 In favor
3 Against

However, two of those “against” prefer that I share via Google Reader- and that’s just not going to happen. I frequently want to bookmark things that I don’t come across via Google Reader.

So I’ll call it:

3 In favor
1.5 Against

More opinions?

Not a big fan-but that has more to do with disliking the format than disliking the content. Just a personal thing. I do read what you share via Google Reader.
