Social Software Reader

Contributing to the Eventspace of the Bay Area Futurist Salon gave me an opportunity to go back and dig up some key posts from the past year. An enjoyable exercise I recommend for any blogger. By all means, this isn't an all encompassing reader for Social Software and Social Networking, but some highlights from a personal perspective.
