Here’s a list of interesting stories, blog posts, and articles that have come across my tweetstream in the past day or two:

I’m a big fan of Marina Martin.  If you’ve lately been spending a lot of time thinking about 2009, as I have, you’ll want to read The Ultimate Guide to New Year’s Resolutions.

A good article on entrepreneurship by author and entrepreneur Norm Brodsky. Norm emphasizes the, you know, business part of running a business. (h/t @ryancarson)

The Social Media Club Seattle is having a “reconnect” event on Tuesday, January 9th.  Tickets are $15, but if you register online, you get a two-for-one deal. Looks interesting – I’m going to go network and make some new friends.

An interesting article about the honey trade, from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.  Have you heard of the term “honey laundering”? You have now! This was a five-month investigation.  Too bad WaPo didn’t spend this much time investigating WMD claims. (h/t @alisoncook)

Top Media & Marketing Innovations of 2008, as judged by Ad Week.  Warning: this is one of those articles with 17 pages that you have to click through.  I think this technique was invented, or at least perfected, by Forbes Magazine. (h/t @patrickbyers)

Twitter Friends Network Browser.  This is interesting, even if I don’t quite understand the UI metaphors.  What exactly is dragging supposed to let you learn?

“Why Journalism Schools Should Get Rid of PR” – by Bob Conrad. Provacative! Do you agree? (h/t @scotthepburn)

Are you a football fan? Real football, not the padded-up grabass they play in the U.S.  If so, you’ll enjoy this Yousport video of a Barca fan doing some amazing dribbling.

Here’s a treat – Merlin Mann’s 6-part audio series “How to Blog”.  My advice: listen to smart people; get smarter as a result. (h/t @conniecrosby).
