Justin Hall, who last month closed down his famous links.net, sounds like he’s doing just fine. I’m glad to hear that, even if it has to be via the SFGate, and not his own weblog.
Even Hall knows that Hall will be back.
“A lot of people have been asking me, ‘Why aren’t you posting about what you’re going to do,” he said during a phone interview. “I would, if I knew what I was gonna do. It’s not goodbye.”
Hall said he “kind of had a breakdown” in January, yet his tone when describing his work over the past 11 years was remarkably upbeat.
“Blogging has been a really rewarding, fun experience. I’ve corresponded and collaborated with fantastic, fun, good-hearted people.”
Hall paused, then said, “Right now, though, I have this girl, and we’re spending time together. It’s good.”

I don’t know Justin well, just ran into him once or twice. I watched his movie, though, and it worried me. I hope that his frame of mind is better than the ‘Justin’ character he plays in the film.
I saw his vid too and was a bit worried, but I’m glad he’s okay. After all, the Web owes him so much, even if it can’t fulfill every need he has…
