The importance of links

The internet basically runs on a system of links - typically (but not always) these are the url addresses entered into a browser. A key aspect of developing a virtual presence is to get as "linked" as possible - this is not quite the same as getting connected to other people in the cloud; it means whenever you can insert a link to something about yourself, your pages, your sites; do it.
Links will sometimes disappear - but I suspect increasingly they will develop a continuity of hooking up to other links so that if one link disappears, other links that have linked up to the original link will sort of "hook in". We can't ever underestimate how smart life in the cloud will become!
