Reading Nuggets

Sometimes we come across interesting posts and links that simply don’t fit into the regular, day-to-day life at Outspoken. Stuff we’d love to share, to write about, and to link to but we run out of days to expand on it. We call these links Reading Nuggets. They’re the stuff we think you should know about and hope you didn’t miss at the expense of a busy week. And that’s what this category is about – sharing and exposing some of the Web’s very best link nuggets so that we can enjoy them together.

This section is just the fun stuff, without too much personal commentary. It’s everything that stood out and caught our eye during the week, even if it had nothing to do with Internet marketing. In fact, most of our nuggets probably WON’T be related to marketing. But that’s okay. It’ll help add a bit of flavor to your reading diet. And maybe even inspire some giggle-tear hiccups.

If you’re the type to enjoy weekend funnies and insight, we also recommend you check out:

We do all this stuff for you, so if you haven’t subscribed to the Outspoken Media blog, you’re missing out on the fun!

Women Hating Women In Tech

Happy Sunday! I mean, Saturday. I have a confession. I’m a hoarder. Only, I don’t hoard actual “stuff”.  I hoard links. Links to resources. Links to thinky things. And, of course, links to stuff that had me giggling so hard I developed the hiccups. And until now I didn’t have an easy way to share [...]
