Weekend Reading: July 27, 2008

Last night I came across a site that talks about the power of referral; specifically word of mouth. For example, you like Moolanomy so you recommend it to three of your friends, then they turn around and do the same to three other friends. Awareness about this blog could spread to over a million people very quickly. Of course, this is all theoretical, but it does remind me… if you like Moolanomy, please tell your friends and family about it!
