Apart from the normal crush of business, I’ve been hammering away for the past few weeks on a huge project — which I’ll be announcing shortly. In the mean time, I’ve wanted to make a further elaboration on the Long List lister I made a few weeks ago<\/a>. That tool will echo The Long List of Odysseus Medal Nominees as they come in, but I wanted something that could be subscribed to by feed reader, as well.<\/p>\n

It occurred to me to push the data out as a feed on my own, but instead I decided to build a link blog. I did that tonight. You can see it by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a pure link blog — no commentary and no comments. I’m just drawing attention to the 75-100 posts that are making The Long List every week. You can see what’s new by visiting the weblog, but the ideal way to use this tool is simply to subscribe to the feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Long List is updated several times a day, so you’ll always be abreast of the very best writing in the RE.net.<\/p>\n

The other end of the pipeline commands your attention, as well: If you see something you think is truly great, and if it’s not already on The Long List — nominate it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a trick, if you’re interested. Go to this nomination form<\/a>, then drag it into your browser’s tool bar or save it in your bookmarks. The when you see a post you like, open the form in a new tab, so you can swap back and forth to paste in the title and URL.<\/p>\n

On my end, the nomination process is by now almost completely automated. I moderate for porn and spam, of course, but I can normally update both the The Long List list box and The Long List of Odysseus Medal Nominees weblog<\/a> with one click.<\/p>\n

One of the things that I like best about this new weblog is that, from today going forward, The Long List will endure, instead of evaporating every Monday.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the new weblog is open for business. Visit the blog<\/a>, subscribe to the feed<\/a> Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
