Weekly wrap-up of news and information from around the web – there’s so much information out there that it’s difficult (at best) to keep up!

Look for the Weekly Wrap-Up: News You Can Use every Friday. I’ll try to be consistent and organize the information into the same categories each week. (Technorati claim token 3JSYVT43VAMQ).
