Are the lessons generic enough to impart upon others in the community? Is there some sort of code of conduct that is encouraged? What about linking etiquette? Are there editorial guidelines that transfer over from print, or even online? [...] [...] How does a successful local paper go about educating it’s online writers (assuming it’s not just a technical brief)? Are the lessons generic enough to impart upon others in the community?

Everything can be interconnected, and learning about or researching a subject can be vastly easier online than anywhere else. Using hyperlinks is the very reason content belongs online. If you don’t hyperlink your content, why on earth do you have it online?” [...] [...] Don MacAskill has some insightful commentary on why we should be liberal in our linkage. “The real, true power of the web is just that – it’s a web.

To write a blog post of less than a few hundred words that provide a user with hours of relevant content consumption is a big challenge.  With links a strong blogger can do it.  Links provide a path to more knowledge and content.  Period.  Add comments then the content becomes amazing.  Linkage and community are the ‘gems’ of blogging.  [...] [...] Links Done Right Help Users The debate on linking is very important.  First users are expecting it but more importantly they help provide better content consumption.  I have never been a strong writer which is why I went to school for computer science rather than journalism, but I’ve learned that it is difficult to write comprehensivly about something in a short writeup.  This is where the art of blogging comes in..

Engadget though live and die on linking, I certainly don't read them for their pithy comments. What seems to have annoyed people is Scoble, a guy who earned his place at the top I admit, claiming his video is what people should be linking to. I found the NYT article to be better than his video. Scoble is allowed his opinion but nobody appreciates accusations and claims like that. Ah well, plenty of people are linking to him now ;) I don’t think anyone is in disagreement that the old media sites don’t link.
