Lani:
Thanks for the note!
I sometimes wonder if my round-up posts aren’t a cop-out, but there are some things that I don’t have much to add to, yet they’re still worth pointing to.
Also, I prefer a batch of links that provide some context, rather than just a list with the headline and nothing else.
Cheers. See you on Twitter…
