automated colation of links from signatures into LQ bookmark


If we could somehow collect in LQ bookmark the links that people have in their signature we would have the crème de la crème for the links newbies should look at

I mean an automated system
and a special folder / section in LQ where these are collated / sorted

This suggestion is striking me after seeing a few times the same
references coming again and again or finding it via google

I'd encourage everyone to head over the LQ Bookmarks and add all their favorite link in as soon as they have the chance. Automating this would not associate the links with the correct user and would therefore defeat the social aspect of the site.

Some people put completely unrelated links in their signatures so auto-importing would just add loads of rubbish in. This way, it would have to be good for somebody to make the effort to head over there and add them.
