I enjoy skimming through numerous blog posts and info bits from Twitter each day.  I also enjoy magazine articles - things that aren\'t time sensitive - that go behind the scenes or look over the horizon for trends.  And when I can, I do a quick scan of thousands of press release headlines each week (PR Newswire &amp; Business Wire) - kind of like a PR Twitter stream.  All of it together helps me get a feel for trends and shifts in the digital/business landscape.  Finding out how Zappos, for example, is using Twitter so effectively tells me we\'ll see more Brands jumping on the Twitter train soon.</div>\
