I re-syndicate my del.icio.us feed to informatory. I think informatory do more good than harm for the source websites. They will get more traffic to their blogs through informatory. A "Snippet" is never more than 256 characters (just like it is on del.icio.us) from the source post, so if a visitor finds some interesting they will probably click on the "read more" link and read the full content on the source blog and comment the article their if they want. Also, instead of a list with all the sources - informatory has an small "house" icon on every snippet, that lead to the homepage of the source. So their is both a "read more" and a homepage link on every snippet. So theoretically a source site can get an higher pagerank because their is many incoming links to the site. For example if your blog has 100 snippets on informatory, you will get 100 "read more" incoming links and 100 homepage incoming links. If I had made a Source list instead you will only had 1 homepage link (and 100 "read more"). If I have aggregated the full content instead of a small snippet, I've had understand the problem with comment and trackbacking. Without trackbacking I probably haven't seen your post about informatory, and haven't comment on your blog :) Well I have probably read it anyway (via informatory), because I think your blog is one of the best out there about web technology.

If you bookmark in del.icio.us do you have it re-syndicating to informatory (if so, I guess anyone can do this sort of thing, re-syndicate your del.icio.us bookmarkets to a blog even - which will have comments and trackbacks). That is fair enough; that someone is commenting on something you have collected, but it would be good for the owner of that item you have collected, knows they are being talked about...some sort of notification. Otherwise people could be giving interesting feedback to my stuff and I'm not there to hear it (so to speak) ...I'm beginning to think that maybe <strong>permalinks</strong> in newsmastering aggregators are dicey, as now there can be multiple permalinks for the same content...there should only be one home for a post and that's the native home (even though you are still pointing to the native site, there is still an alternate home being offered for that post). No need to remove it for now, I'd like to know what others think about this sort of thing. Stefan,

I never thought of trackback and commenting on informatory was a bad thing. I think the possibility to comment on the "Snippets" could be interesting. I use Snippets from my del.icio.us bookmarks for example. My website could be a possibility for my visitors to comment on my del.icio.us bookmarks. That possibility don't exist on del.icio.us itself. But if you and others think this is bad, I remove the comment and trackback functionality on informatory. Hi, I’am the webmaster of informatory.
