I love your new Saturday feature, Katie.
What I would really like is to see an excerpt and maybe a commentary of the article links you give here.
You could maybe give us the links on Twitter and give us a single commentary on the top story of the week according to you.
Just a thought…
Cheers

Thank you Mihir, and tweeting this feature is a great idea. I’ll pass it on to Josiah; he manages our twitter feed.
And if I ever get a personal Twitter, you’ll be the first to know
Warmest regards,
Katie
Hi Katie,
I’m beginning to like you already
If you retweet important links and information from other sources as well instead of just your own, then it merely establishes you as an authority in your field more strongly, which is what we should be aiming for in the long run.
I think its time you got a personal Twitter account yourself…as you say, all the cool kids have one and you don’t want to miss out…Twitter is a great way to voice your thoughts, opinions as well as your quirks
and hobbies…
Speaking of which, aren’t you @swimmkatieclapp on Twitter ?
Cheers
Mihir
