And a quick question for those of you who made it to the end of the list of links – would you prefer to get all the links I find more than once a week? I’ve noticed that the list of links is getting longer almost every week. So I’m trying to decide if it makes sense to do more than one links post a week.

I’d appreciate it if you could let me know what you think by commenting on this post.

Thanks
