Mitch Joel posted about a problem many (most?) of us have: How to keep up with all the content to which we’ve subscribed?

Les Têtes à claques

Posted by Bob on November 8th, 2006

Mes amis, vous devez regarder ca sans faute!

I’ve been looking over the attendees and sessions list for Podcamp Pittsburgh this weekend… Oh if only it wasn’t a 12 hour drive.. Will Canada be represented at all?? Or have the organizers finally succeeded in putting a Podcamp far enough from the border? Hmm…
