Wow, Julie, your list this week is over the top! Great idea, especially, on the webinar section.
And, of course, thanks for the mention 🙂 I am really hoping to generate some dialog on the issues I posted earlier this week.
@Jacqui – This was certainly a crazy week…lots of great stuff going on!! And you’re welcome, I enjoyed reading your post!
This is a great list, Julie. For me, this week’s gold mine is your list of webinars. Thanks so much for taking the time to compile it all.
