I agree, thanks for bringing up mybloglog, that’s a perfect example of a mouseover box that could list links, although when you move your mouse it disappears, I was thinking something that stays there until you collapse it again.

A link that says to read more go _here_ is neither as descriptive for the reader nor as potent in terms of added value for the destination site. I guess a pop-up box like the ones you see for http://www.mybloglog.com/ that say "4th most clicked link" could include the name of the site, or author info, or a brief post excerpt... Clipmarks might be a bit much. A bulleted list at the end of the post, though, might work? Old school, but straightforward, & doesn't break the flow of your prose?

I did something not totally unrealted in this post on <a href="http://micro-info.blogspot.com/2005/11/searchlinks.html" rel="nofollow">seaarchlinks</a>. I use a social bookmark feed to display links in eg blibliographies/further reading lists, and elsewhere (eg <a href="http://del.icio.us/psychemedia/ajh+livelinks" rel="nofollow">my livelinks posts</a>). tony Nice idea, and one that can perhaps be implemented with a little javscripted tooltip and a (relayed?) feed from a social bookmarking service (displaying resources tagged with either a blog post specific tag or an appropriate tag combination).

And, though i'd love the traffic to the clipmarks site, i also agree that the right solution would not push people to leave your site. I like the expand/collapse idea, specifically regarding the sidebar...so much so that we're changing the entire left side navigator on the clipmarks site to be modules that do just that. These changes will be sometime this upcoming week. I agree with your concern about numerous links within a post ruining the flow.
