In my history studies years ago I learned the importance of citing sources, preferably the original or ‘primary’ sources, in anything I wrote. That training served me well as a public servant and has also been valuable in several consulting assignments.
But a lot of that citing was on the basis of manuscripts or printed texts, from an analog world. Obviously, our digital world provides a lot more scope for instant manipulation of information - and not always responsibly.
Just how can we have confidence that a blog post, for example, is reliable, or useful?
Robert Scoble’s story of a link path - How the blog trust network works… shows that if you have a degree of trust in the judgement of the person offering the initial link, there is a good chance you will be able to access valuable content.

Something is wonky about your link in this post. Now that’s irony.
Thank you. Link fixed.
