Here are 10 possibilities I came up with during the breakfast hour today:
PodCamp Down Under. Either Australia or New Zealand will do. [...]
OK, I’ll take the bait this time.
I’m not the biggest fan of blog tagging games, but this one actually has the potential to be amusic. Scott Monty, whom I met up with for a couple of a drinks about 10 days ago — and we have Twitter to thank for that — has picked up [...]
