From the Blogosphere

If you’re not exactly sure what you’re doing on Twitter, the folks at Bit Rebels have compiled a comprehensive list of 150+ articles devoted to the subject.

Mashable confirmed what we already knew:  Why Social Media Means Big Opportunities for Women.

Steve Rubel has announced the start of the Facebook Decade.

The Houston Examiner had a very funny piece entitled 10 Things You and Your Children Will Survive, Believe It or Not.  (I can totally relate to #4 and #7)

PBH3 discovered this horrific (and highly amusing) pictorial Guide to Dating for the Single Woman, circa 1938.

Wisconsin made the news this week by passing a bill that guarantees a woman’s right to breast feed anywhere she needs/wants to.  And anyone who interferes with her can be fined.  So there.

Prudent Baby has step-by-step instructions on how to make Robeez-inspired baby shoes from upcycled denim.  Smart, cute, AND green!

And finally, our local news is reporting on the Littlest Longhorn Fan Ever!  (Hook ‘em!)
