Better to know what everyone is up to (even the "competition") than stick
ones head up ones ...

No?

And it's a place to put any/all relevant links not just ones we agree with.

That's a pile of US government data in the Microsoft cloud.  Amazon
did the same with EC2: <http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/>.  This,
of course, is a convenience to their paying customers--it's not open
access data.

I thought you were suggesting we use that place of MS evangelists to
store *our* links.

Happy to have been corrected.
