Ever since Robb Knight wrote his piece on /slash pages, I’ve been debating making a /save page with my referral links. There’s just no way I’d ever do the buy me a coffee link or dollar a month club appeal either. In no way do I think that those things are wrong or tacky. I fully support them. They are just not for me for reasons I really can’t articulate. I can list my referrals, however. Recommending stuff is kind of my thing. I don’t have any problem suggesting software (or hardware) to people. On the contrary, I really enjoy it and it makes me unreasonably happy when someone tells me that they are enjoying an app I turned them on to. You want a free productivity consultant? I’m your man.
