Is there a style guide for quoting articles, people or whatever in a world where hyperlinks are the norm? I have found myself trying to fit old world quoting in this new world and it doesn't really fit.
Dave Winer (whom I dislike) frequently does, source: (title or quote), with a hyperlink on whatever makes sense. It works well enough, although it seems a bit random at times.
Wes Felter does a similar thing, except for he always hyperlinks the title or the quote - never the source. Mark Pilgrim seems to do the same as well.
Manton seems to do blockquote for most of his quotes. So does Tim.
Thoughts?
Probably the most important thing is to stay consistent with whatever you come up with. I do blockquote for few-sentence quotes, but more Dave Winer-ish quoting for one-sentence quotes.
And then there are folks who don't even put quotes around the text at all (http://www.tomalak.org/ as an example).
