This is an experimental post with a selection of tweets from my personal @bengross Twitter account and posts made directly to the @messagingnews Twitter account. You should follow both of them.

I expanded the shortened links with the longurl.org service. In future posts, I will experiment with links I have saved via Twitter favorites and links I have saved via the Pinboard.in bookmarking service
