Hi there, I am curious to hear peoples' thoughts on the value of distinguishing between internal links and external links in a large-scale web app. I am currently working on a project that is being loosely modeled off of Wikipedia; which does make a visual distinction between their internal and external links. In the context of an article on a particular subject this distinction (between the internal and external links) seems rather appropriate. Personally, if I am browsing a site and I like what I see I tend to avoid external links in favor of internal links. I am in favor of visual notification in some form that this distinction exists...But I have heard many arguments against this--mostly in the form that it interferes with the visual design of the site. This is my first thread post so be gentle with me! ;-)
