ScoopD –
Great summary! It is always nice to have someone else do the legwork and find the articles that I should be reading . Yes, interesting experiment. Will be interesting to watch. I guess the question is, “could Mashable have provided me the same summary?”
Possibly, but maybe not a filtered as you provided. Either way, thanks for the list. Nice work.
