A blog that focuses primarily on cool links that the author has found, as opposed to original content such as essays. Arguably the original form; Jorn Barger, the coiner of the term "weblog," intended it to mean a log of his Web surfing. Barger's blog Robot Wisdom, one of the oldest, still follows this format. Many Power Law Blogs have this form, often embellished with commentary. (The most pronounced example may be Instapundit who has a habit of potholing his links with cryptic descriptions like Heh.)
Not to be confused with Link's blog.
