One of the most important ways of using Twitter is for sharing information, whether it's news, articles, studies or more.

Each week, we collect information that we think The Age of Opportunity participants will be interested in, and also any links that are shared during the weekly chats, and aggregate them so they're in one place for easy reading.

This week, we had so many links that we decided to move the list out of the forum and into its own blog! Remember, if you'd like to take part, go here for details.
