Is your link old news?

A humorous website I just came across via the Huffington Post: "Is It Old" will tell you whether the exciting new link you've stumbled on has already made the rounds of the internet. Of course I immediately entered the URL of the website itself, just to see if it would spontaneously combust. Turns out sharing a link to Is It Old is always "mad fresh." Of course it is.

I typed in an ancient post on how to make a gift bow and learned it's DEAD. The trash bag spiderweb idea from the other day is KINDA OK and only suitable to send to friends who go on vacation a lot.

    That is super funny. I like that you tried out links to your own blog.

    Now if people want to check out something fresh and NEW, they should check out MY blog! I WAS THE FIRST there.

    Er... I'm not sure that's such a good thing....

    Ditto - my blog content is all "New" - I'm an internet pioneer, I'm told. So not a good thing! Lol.

    Being cool is overrated.

    Very very smart. I hesitate to share things because I think they could be old. This is great!

    LOL! Having fun checking out my own tutorials. I guess if they are old and have been tweeted a bunch of times it is actually GOOD, eh? Very entertaining, A+ time waster this fine Thursday afternoon, thank you ;)

    What comes after "dead"? Because come christmas time, I bet dead won't be the correct term for your genius gift-bow-tutorial (one of my all time favourite posts!). :)

    Jessica, you have a mention in the November issue of Mollie Makes. It is the vase with the tape decoration.

    Is that a print magazine or an online one? I vaguely remember them contacting me for photo permission, but I hadn't heard of the publication before. Thanks for mentioning that!

    Oh dear, I'm an internet pioneer too, apparently. Mind you, I'm not sure only using Twitter as a measure is quite fair...

    I don't care if the bow tutorial was dead. I needed a reminder. I love your blog! (and I am not dead)
