The volume of Twitter posts popping up in my feed reader is ticking upward, a phenomenon I find interesting because of something I noted recently on LinkedIn.

By ⋅ January 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

We seem to be going through a second wave of focus (hype?) in the popular technology press, on the idea of using blogs as an important project management tool.
