This week on AG:

This past week has been a whirlwind! We (Benn & I) were at the South by Southwest Interactive conference starting last week which ended with what we’re all calling the SXSW SARS of 2010 which wiped many of us out (including me) with sinus and chest infections. We learned quite a bit at this year’s conference and met many people we’ve been trying to connect with over the year as well as reconnected with many of our friends.

But, despite our absence, there were some incredible articles written this week that we’d like to highlight. There was some great discussion and a lot of lessons learned this week, so if you were busy (or sick) like us, this top 10 is the fastest way to play catch up!
