If you follow me, you know I share craptons of links on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. But I realized that they get lost amid all the other things happening on Social Media. So here are things I’ve read and loved lately, some are new, some are not so new. Maybe I’ll post my recommended reading list regularly (I love it when other bloggers do it). I found this stuff interesting; maybe you will, too!
