Several months ago, I asked Twitter whether it would be useful to have a LinkTree for academics.
Responses to this question inspired me to create Owlstown Link Pages, which made it easy to create a page that links to all of your academic profiles (Twitter thread).
Over time, I had some ideas to improve Owlstown Link Pages, which I am now renaming to Academic Link (See homepage for details). Here are some of the improvements:
Over time, I had some ideas to improve Owlstown Link Pages, which I am now renaming to Academic Link (See homepage for details). Here are some of the improvements:
- An academic domain name: academic.link
- Updating your Owlstown website automatically updates your Academic Link
- Academic Link automatically links to your Owlstown website and CV
- You can add longer text content
I've automatically transferred data from Owlstown Link Pages to Academic Link. I've also started redirecting Owlstown Link Page to Academic Link. For example, https://owls.town/einstein automatically goes to https://academic.link/einstein. I'll have this redirect working for a year, so if you have any links that point to Owlstown Link Pages, replace them with the new Academic Link URL.
