Bits and Pieces

Or...maybe Bits and PCs (as in the type of computer rather than political correctness. Oh wait, maybe they are related after all! heh.) ANYWAY...In case you didn't actually look at my delicious bookmarks from my previous post, there are a few interesting (and current) ones that deal with social media and how it will weather (or thrive) in a poor economy. One linked to another but here they are separately.
