Every day, I link out a few blogs posts and articles that I’ve read or used from across the internet.  Here are the top twenty of the items that I linked out last week.  Typically, these are the tweets from things I read in the evenings and then share throughout the afternoon with the “Reading” title.  Let me know if you find these useful or interesting.
