Great stuff. I definitely agree. While there is value in a blog running a post periodically that includes a number of links pertaining to a specific topic, I always look to see what other verbiage is included explaining the topics and the links that are cited.

An exception that I’ve seen on a few sites that I think still works is the weekly or monthly collection of links around a broad set of topics that becomes more of a “recommended reading” list. Generally this type of post also includes additional insights and useful information beyond just the list of links.

RE: Smashing Magazine, I would be curious to know the correlation between how many people bookmark the posts and how many of the links in the posts actually get clicked on. I wonder how many people bookmark but never get around to actually reading.
