I am 
conformer, Your Humble Moderator, and my word is law.
I post five links a day, five days a week. Dark weekends.
Where to look for links:
Start with your favorite search engine, news reader, or RSS feed. Visit content aggregators like reddit, Digg,Netscape Propeller, Rojo, Newsvine, and Tailrank. A goofy Wikipedia article is always appreciated.
Above all, be interesting.
There is currently a talent search in place for a co-moderator. If you think you have the chops, holla.

- Membership to
linkphasia is moderated. E-mail to join. - There are no posting restrictions for members. (See below) Non-members cannot post.
- All entries are moderated, unless I've given you co-mod superpowers. If you don't know if you have co-mod superpowers or not, you probably don't. I reserve the right to reject any submissions in the pipeline. Don't take it personally.

- Don't link to a link. Find the original source or a permalink whenever possible.
- Don't link to anything that automatically resizes browser windows. People hate that.
- Be succinct in your link text. If your post wordwraps, it's too long.
- Do not e-mail links to me directly. Post them yourselves. Here's the HTML template I use.
- Post a maximum of five links per post. Post a maximum of three times every 24 hours.
- Think quality, not quantity; substance, not spam.
- If you tag, be as broad as possible without getting amorphous. For example, don't tag something "xbox wii playstation" if "video games" will do.
- No porn. Period.
- Be nice or leave. No flaming, trolling, or advertising. Grow up.
Above all, be interesting.
