Wow, lots of interesting posts and pieces to read and comment upon. However, I am flat out this week on a consulting work and we have SMX here in London as well… Here are some of the things I am reading and following this week:

Plus Scoble on Android of Journalism… I’ve got to get a picture of a Google phone, I know they exist and are being field tested in Europe somewhere as we speak . Globrix have a private beta running and I am going to get access to that as well. The iPhone hype in the UK is crazy. And they make you pay lots of money and wait in line – madness.
