Bernard Hickey's Twitter feed on Wednesday August 19

Every weekday I send out a few links I'm interested in to my followers on twitter. You can sign up to follow them on Twitter here. I'll also compile them and publish them every day on our site for those who can't or won't use Twitter. It also puts them into our database so I can find them again. Twitter appears not to have a memory... There's no narrative or background. Just a series of often un-related links. I'll keep updating through the day.
