Each one of us will choose his preferred way to be up to dated with technology news but how can we have a team benefit of each team player knowledge??

We should share this knowledge among the team not only between 2 or 3 , so I suggest that each one of  us who read something useful or learn something new or hear about valuable technology news to send the link with some description to our ilist so we all can make useful of it.
