Many social media platforms don't offer a place to list links in posts and their about sections. That is where many of the link aggregate sites came in. Now you can have a list of links that are important to the people who visit your profile. The problem is, you can't track what people do when they are on these third party sites. What if you can create a similar function in Rock plus control the look of those link sites.
