I subscribe to a lot of Social Media newsletters and RSS feeds. Thought it might be a good idea to post a round-up of some of the stories I found interesting. This is in no way comprehensive, of course. But to the casual social media dabbler, it might be useful.
Maybe I’ll even start doing this regularly. You can think of me as your social media librarian. Only less mousy.
