Becoming an aggregator

booksI love it when people help me find good things to read. The Internet has made that infinitely easier; sharing articles, photos, and videos is an intricate part of what we do. That’s one of the main things I look for on Twitter, and my principal activity on Twitter is sharing links.

David Smith regularly shares his “this went thru my mind,” a collection of links on subjects of interest to him. Ed Stetzer does something similar with his “Morning Roundup.” I want to begin to do the same in The Kitchen.

I principally read in these areas:

  • Theology (duh)
  • Immigration
  • Technology (particularly as it relates to non-profits and churches)
  • Travel
  • Sports (particularly the San Antonio Spurs)
  • Cuba (because of the work that I do there)

There are other blogs and things I find interesting along the way, like the work of the Pew Research Center, Seth Godin’s blog, and some of the unusual or funny news stories. Those are the sorts of things I would share. I’ll probably limit some of the things (like Spurs stories) that I find mainly of interest to me.

Some questions for you:

  • Would it be better to post these links at the bottom of other posts or make them separate posts?
  • Is it better to group links thematically or just post them soon after finding them?
  • Should I stick to posts that directly relate to things that have been discussed on this blog, or would people also be interested to read about travel, technology, etc.?

Thanks for reading and for sharing your thoughts!
