I’ve been tossing something around all day - the Linkage feature is now just one small step away from being a diary system similar to the one at Daily Kos, but much cooler.

I think I’ll make the link itself optional. It’s weird that by eliminating the necessity for the original focus of the whole feature, it frees it up to be an open-ended blog/diary/whatever system.

All the other tools you need to post a diary entry are already there — you can embed links (soon images too) and videos, and edit your posts when needed.

In fact, I may eliminate the “Link URL” field in the bookmarklet entirely, and just put the link into the description field, followed by any selected text as a blockquote.
