Two years ago I cringed at people talking about friend lists on websites. Abuse of the word, I thought. But you are cool.

You have spread from my Newsvine watchlist to my LinkedIn-, Facebook- and other profiles. You add quality content and care about the site. It makes sense to stay in contact - and spam each other with videos of naked Japanese people in saunas on Facebook - because we've been working on a project here.

I just begun working with Novo Nordisk for at least a couple of months and it's a type of job that is both full time, doesn't benefit from me keeping track of tons of news and blasts my head with correspondence and database and scanners and stuff. I just don't feel quite the spirit for writing very long contributions to Newsvine right now. Later, yes. (Hopefully soon I'll get the dream job of my life that would go quite well along with me adding climate news.)

Anyway, that's all I really wanted to say. I was thinking about this and decided to put together a list of you, the recipients of this "article". Just a props, a note for you to check out who else got this message and an assurance I'll keep watching your writings on the Newsvine wall.

Newsvine itself is in sort of a weird period. I get a bit too many friend and group membership requests. It's not the time for me to shout about all the Nazis around and stuff anyway ;-)
