I’ve used my “cheap thrills” blogs as a means of posting interesting links to my blog that haven’t been picked up by aggregators like Digg or Reddit. The reason I do this is because it used to be a pain to actually submit something to those sites; you had to come up with a title, a description, and a category. If I’m going to spend that much time doing that, I might as well just put it up on my own blog!
Ever since the controversial Digg v4 redesign, it has been a heck of a lot easier to submit links. You just paste the URL and the title and description are automatically generated. All you have to do is figure out which category it goes into. That makes it easy enough for me to submit links on Digg so I haven’t (and probably won’t) post any more cheap thrills!
Although, I think I will still post links, especially ones that could benefit from some commentary (and of course my Instapaper Queues for now).
