One of the great things about the link economy is that although there’s a huge amount of value embedded in all those links, that value largely sits at quite a distant remove from cash money. Schlesinger talks about how links create value “when the linker extracts real gold that was hidden in the original and gives it more prominence”, and “when the link or retweet uses the original as a jumping off point for argument, debate, or development”. He’s right; that’s blogging, in a nutshell.
