Actually Linkerator is my name for it, but I love it! (Linkerator reminds me of Willy Wonka.) NY Times links die after 7 days, but if you get a userland link, it will last forever, maybe -- we're taking that on faith for now. Though the userland links are only up on that site for a day or so until they are replaced with the next set of links. And saving links through your aggregator isn't always feasible. But Aaron Schwartz has made the most cool tool at his latest links site: The New York Times Link Generator. Basically, by putting in a regular NYT link from anytime after June 2003, his tool will generate a link (though I tried an AP article on the NYT site from last week and was out of luck, it seems to only work for NYT articles). But hey, it's the greatest thing since sliced cinnimon brioche dipped in egg mixed with cognac, sauted and served with maple syrup!
The bIPlog thanks you from the bottom of our hearts!
