Friday Night Notes

Sifting and sorting through the vast amount of information that funnels through my twitter feeds daily is a challenge. Much of it is chatter but some is noteworthy. This is what I have bookmarked this week:





There is not much more to be added to what has already been said about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. 
What I have thoroughly enjoyed is some of the amusing quotes, insights  and creative ways  to tell the story.  Here are a few of my favourites.....
