Incredibly busy day all around! The social sharing around my links was probably 250% what it was on a normal day. Is there something in the water?

#6: Foursquare Partners with Visa, MasterCard for Discounts (Ad Age)
#5: Really Cute, but Totally Faked (New York Times)
#4: After Waiting Two Weeks For Mailbox, The Massively Hyped Email App, I Deleted It After Two Days (Business Insider)
