So far from Twitter, we’ve got:

@KarinaFRamirez
@BizJournalism I love Marketplace because of its Morning Report

@crauber
@BizJournalism Well, I’m biased, but http://www.bizjournals.com has weekly and daily biz news from 40+ biz journals nationwide.

Biased? Or merely discriminating? We’ll take it either way. BizJournals.com certainly covers waterfront.. so to speak.

Thanks, keep ‘em coming.
