Open Stack

Hi,

Some kind of shared bookmarking solution would be ideal - tag some
tweets/links/articles/blog bosts as "openstack news" and have them
aggregated and edited once a week.

paper.li does this automatically for Twitter.

bit.ly or pinboard.in (or even delicious.com) could work for shared
bookmarks.

Cheers,
Dave.
