Is there a better name for a blog post that has merely links? For the lack of (unaware of) a better (proper) name, I choose "Link Clouds" instead.
Posting links as a round up can mean any of the following things:
(a) There's a lot of interesting stuff out there. Check them out and enjoy them for yourself. Don't expect me to elaborate, it'll spoil the fun. Genuine and altruistic ones, these are.
(b) I'm out of stuff to write, my hit counter tells me that I have a readership to take care of; a readership that gets offended if I don't post anything new on a week end; a readership that begins to dwindle if there are no posts for two consecutive days.
(c) Good procrastination. I'm awfully busy, but wouldn't want to disappoint my visitors by having a cobweb for a blog. So there. Check it out, and come back later.
(d) Filler space - Lorem Ipsum in a comprehensible manner- between two heavy blogposts. After all no matter how obssessive of food you are, having two feasts on the same day isn't good for the digestive system. :)
But most often, it is a mix of more than one of these categories. And if (b), (c) and (d) happen simultaneously, the blogger must be extremely lucky to come across (a).
