1. Thotblurber Talk : This first one is not one link but an entirely new sidepanel entry with an automated feed. I have aggregated all the XML feeds from all our blogs and stuck it up as a sidepanel titled 'What Thotblurbers are posting on their respective blogs'. All posts we enter at our respective blogs will show up as links in one convenient location. Clicking on the post title will take you to the respective blog, of course. The feed is currently stuck on a couple of my posts (not by design) and on Jayanth's entries. It will scroll down as people post new things.
2. The 51 Best Magazines Ever : I love magazines in all forms and sizes (some more than others, of course.) Which is why I was thrilled to find this shortlist by Good Magazine. This selection points not just to the cream of the crop - but also highlights when they were the cream of the crop. Discovered via Yahoo Picks!

3. Changing World - India Rising : Produced by BBC and Public Radio International, 'The Changing World is a weekly series of audio documentaries that explore multiple aspects of a single global issue. Last week's issues focussed on India and the changes taking place here. The two episodes provide an interesting viewpoint on India and offer interesting sound bites for presentations.

4. Case Study Addict : Leland Maschmeyer writes one of the better planning blogs around - it's full of insight, new angles and most interesting of all (to me, at least) , scientific analogies. Leland has recently kickstarted another blog assembling together in one place what he calls the ad man's crack - case studies. It is a collective blog and if you would like to add or submit your own case studies, you can write to him. More details here.

5. The Cluetrain Manifesto : This isn't a new link but I just wanted to highlight it. In 1998 four Silicon Valley thinkers got together to write a declaration (and subsequently a book) that I still think is absolutely essential reading for all marketers, advertisers and especially planners. The manifesto created waves and much discussion - the website that started it all is now enshrined as a 'Read only' landmark on the net.

once again, good additions Iqbal. interestingly, in the morning i was thinking of suggesting another site for wacky/humorous/satirical/devilish definitions of words/ideas...its the devil's dictionary and found over here http://sedition.com/ddx/
some devilish stuff in the sidepanel will be interesting :)
an example:
alcohol: a form of popular entertainment vastly less expensive than vacations, movies, theme parks, or even cable TV.
Apologies, Meraj, for this very late response. Wanted to reply earlier but got caught in a few things. I will add this site in the next round of links additions.
Case study addict is a great joint. Coming to the cluetrain manifesto link, I suspect you put it in to milk it, that bit more, in the form of some free advertising for your paper. Speaking of papers, nice paper on the manifesto. In fact, this post about the cluetrain manifesto is a decent example of the long tail idea, isn't it?
Speaking of definitions, try Pandav Tandav for some mind games. It's a fun way to practice efficient thinking, and writing.
Did my paper have anything to do with the cluetrain manifesto? Not that I know of :)
You're right. for some stupid reason, I thought Chris Anderson had something to do with the Cluetrain Manifesto. I think I know why. The Cluetrain Manifesto and The Long Tail are, probably, the two most influential pieces of marketing thinking that have emerged in the last 5 years. Or are there other more influential examples of marketing thinking to have emerged during the same time?
Besides Chris and Chris share a first name. My mistake.
