I recorded a carcast on the way home this evening. In the carcast, I explain how I've changed [Writer River](http://writerriver.com/) to incorporate [Publish2.com](http://publish2.com/)'s link sharing technology. Using Publish2, you add links to your blog, twitter account, and a technical communication newsgroup at the same time. Publish2 provides a robust platform for managing and publishing your links. I also talk about why I'm interested in Writer River and the purpose behind link blogging.
