…so I’m going to take the easy way out and post some of the items I’ve been mulling over in the last week or so. Enjoy!

• Duncan Watts takes another look at Malcolm Gladwell’s study of how influencers affect trends and comes to a different conclusion. (Is the Tipping Point Toast?)
• Joseph Jaffe has an excellent post about the exodus of digital talent from ad agencies. (The Brain Drain)
• Del.icio.us says news on the next version of the site is coming soon (Techcrunch provided a preview of the new UI about four months ago). We’re still waiting, and so are my extremely disorganized tags. (del.icio.us blog)
• Google Docs tips and tools (Writing a Book in Google Docs and Google Docs Sidebar)
• The first iPhone Advergame as arrived, brought to you by Dr. Pepper. (Adverlab)
• Techmeme, Technorati, and now Twitter-tracker Tweetmeme. (Techcrunch review)
• Social Networks from the 80s to the 00s (GigaOm)
