A clear leader throughout, the winner of this month's Post Of The Month is Tim Malbon's excellent post on serendipity and the web. Well done Tim. As well as the props of your blogging peers, you have the kudos of being our first double winner, and of-course are entered into the Think Tank 'Hall Of Fame (again).
Some brisk voting on this month's poll with the vote eventually becoming a two horse race between Paul's reprise of What's Next In Marketing And Advertising, and AdLand Suit's post on bankers and teenagers but in the end it was the latter that garnered the most votes. So well done AdLand Suit - you get the props of your blogging peers, and are entered into the Think Tank 'Hall Of Fame.
Very close run race this month, with Charlie's post on 'Time As Context' vying for the top spot pretty much all the way with David's 'Service' post - both excellent contenders but in the end, it was Charlie's post that won at the last fence. So well done Charlie - you get the props of your blogging peers, and are entered into the Think Tank 'Hall Of Fame. Don't forget to start thinking about good stuff you're reading right now, ready for next month's nominations.
