Blogmark

I'm intrigued by this form of micro-content that Maggie Appleton is calling a Smidgeon. It is similar to Simon Willison's blogmark concept. The notable difference to me is that they aren't explicitly tied to some external URL.

With a blogmark, I'm linking to some blog, resource, whatever on the internet and tying some of my own commentary to it. Whereas with a smidgeon, I don't necessarily need to lead with a URL. One might just be a small bit of freeform thought.
