@jayrosen_nyu Assuming everybody will have time to click on every link in a post such as @paulbalcerak 's may become a new odd habit.

@billdinTO Not about clicking on every link. Some people may like some links, but not others (etc.). The more info the better.

@paulbalcerak We need to be as judicious with linking as we should be with writing. More not nec. better for the reader.

@billdinTO I say give the reader more than he bargained for & let *him* decide which links are worth it (RE: http://bit.ly/2eZ9vC)

@paulbalcerak Funny, when print writers do the equivalent, many readers' eyes glaze over and they give up on the story. Not good.

@billdinTO Print readers are different, though, as is print. I can put 10 links in 2 grafs online; in print, it's too much info to look at.

@paulbalcerak But 10 links in 2 online grafs is too much to click on! And if I find they don't add value, I'll get very pissed very fast.

@billdinTO Or you can just not click them. Same as footnotes (though I concede there is a breaking point).
