I read a lot. Of books and news alike. Oh, and whitepapers too. And some
|
|
recipes maybe. Some of them I find by my RSS reader. Some are given to
|
|
me by colleagues at work, some arrive by mail, sometimes even in
|
|
somewhat curated, described form. I read through most of them. And
|
|
resend. Often I want to share a particular piece with friends of mine
|
|
and possibly some other people too. Most often I do this by pasting the
|
|
link into the IM window or email it to a particular person I know might
|
|
be interested. Then I recall the other person who would also love to
|
|
hear about this. Then I need to search the IM logs or my Delicious. And
|
|
all of this only to hear that the people mentioned did not have the time
|
|
to read the article referred but would love to in the future. Just not
|
|
right now. I need a system for this. I read something, I archive it in
|
|
the system. People sign up or I do sign them up. People receive my
|
|
curated links list in a more or less regular email. But there is also a
|
|
public, searchable web directory for all the previous editions. Is there
|
|
anything like it around ? Open source please. Selfhosted please. If not - I'm just gonna write it.
