I read a lot of great stuff on the web and if I’ve found it valuable, liklihood is, I’ll tweet it.
I’ve decided to start doing a weekly round up of my tweeted links here. The first day of the new year seems as good a time as any to start.

I might not be Jamie’s biggest fan but I have no doubt that the restaurant opening up on the Riverside in Reading in Early 2010 will be serving delicious food. I believe the restaurant will be taking the place previously occupied by Chilli’s.

A bit more shameless self promotion! I have started this network on Ning in an attempt to grow Sourcing skills in the UK recruitment community.

I like it. Twitter can be amazingly hard to keep up with and there’s always lots of goodies to be missed, so it’s really helpful in adding a bit of permanence and allowing lazy creatures like myself the chance to catch up.
