The thing about going on holiday when you run your own business is that the weeks leading up to it are hell. No matter how much notice clients are given, everything still seems to come at the last minute and it's impossible to explain that actually although there may be 3 days to go, every minute of those three days is already planned for and booked out, so no, I can't physically fit in any more work!
All the same, despite neglecting to post, I've managed to catch some interesting articles recently:
Top 10 reasons small businesses excel at social media - thanks to Chris Brogan for flagging this one up.
Why urgency succeeds like nothing else in a bad economy - the excellent Sean D'Souza with a great post
42 HTML email design resources - a jaw-droppingly good list for any email marketer, by Mark Brownlow
The peril and promise of Google's Knol - Shel Holtz on the cutting edge as ever. I must check this Knol out.
Shel Horowitz is a heck of a nice guy, but he didn't write the post you reference. That was me, Shel Holtz. FYI.

Oops! So sorry Shel, please put my mistake down to pre-vacation stress!
