I think we get another benefit from only the links being posted - once 
you get to the site, then there is a chance that you will see another 
article that looks interesting - that is at least my personal 
experience.  I tend to follow a link, and then read some of the other 
articles on the site, which in turn lead to even more articles, or more 
sites.  So of course I end up wasting half my time online reading 
articles that could possibly not relate at all to the original link 
posted.  I guess it's the whole information overload thing.:)
