Dear colleagues,

Bless the inventor of the RSS feed – a filtering tool for our impatient, 2.0-in-your face culture.

Here are simple lists of resources (aka Tables of Contents). Scan them and find the best worthy of your precious time & reflection.

Please let me know about your favourites that I have yet to discover; and broken links, too. Send us a note

Sincerely, Judith Comfort
