Yes to both. One of the reasons I didn't add tiddlywiki.com as a source is because the tiddlers there have a bunch of other tags that aren't meaningful in this context. So it would be great if anyone would like to clean them up and put them in a wiki somewhere. In the case of the Toolmap, it might well be a community effort to get everything moved across in a useful way. As I understand it, links in the toolmap are filed under a single set of hierarchical categories, while the links aggregator allows for multiple topics to be assigned to each link. > What happens if two people share the same link? That's a good thing! This site is modelled on an ancient "Web 2.0" site called "del.icio.us" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website) ), where the idea is that multiple people bookmarking a particular link is taken as a sign of the popularity of that link. So, bookmarking a site is a vote of confidence. Best wishes Jeremy > >> On Sunday, March 21, 2021 at 12:17:16 PM UTC-7 joshua....@gmail.com wrote: >> This is a FANTASTIC idea. Bravo.
