I have some thoughts on Manuel Moreal’s post on how linking out could result in server load: "If my site was big enough to cause problems, would then be my responsibility to be careful what I link to? […] My gut reaction tells me that it’s not really my responsibility to worry about the way other people run their sites but maybe I’m wrong and I should worry about that." My view that if something online resonates with you, then it’s worth linking to. Not only are you spreading awareness of material you think is worth sharing, you’re giving signal to the creator that their material is resonating with... lmika.org

@V_ Yeah, I agree. Maybe for Manuel it’s a little different, as I do see many people read and link to his stuff. But the majority, I think, shouldn’t worry too much about the effects of linking to other sites.
