Must Read: Important Items of Broad Interest
Public
Think of this as Digg with brains or a collaborative version of Techmeme, but not restricted to tech. (Matter of fact, few
tech items would likely qualify for this Twine.)
Please be selective and link to or upload highly credible sources. Also, focus on essays, articles, or feature-length pieces,
papers and reports; do NOT include standard relatively short blog posts.
Let's see how this works as Twine's version of Digg and Techmeme.
See also "Must See" (http://www.twine.com/twine/mustsee) and "Must Hear" (http://www.twine.com/twine/musthear).

2Taxpayer Beware: Bank Bailout Will Hurt [an "honest" ransom note from a bank economist!]This is ridiculous! And not only the "ransom note" part, which is bad enough. But at last, the banks could be "coming clean" about their true "character" and intentions! So "we" taxpayers are all to blame. All of us? - hardly, since many of the middle and lower income among us couldn't and/or ...JDP added 8 months ago
