Links for 24 Aug

It has been something of a flashback in seeing how many have made their way over to MicroBlog. Sure, Twitter acting out has a lot to do with that, but there’s probably something a tick under the surface with a lot of social groups and social networks which grow over a particular size or gain some kind of celebrity/global affluence. There’s always someone and something mining a path just a bit differently… until others also figure out the new road and make it their own also.

The preface says it clearly, as do the links for this week:
