Five Star Friday: Edition #4

Twitter, my beloved Twitter, has been completely b0rked for a good part of the day, which in turn b0rks up Five Star Friday's works. Grrr. Every time that "500 Internal Server Error" message shows up, I feel like Twitter is giving me the finger.

Still, despite the fact that Twitter is a major part of the weblog entry submission process, you excellent people managed to ship over 37 weblog entries that you deemed worthy of being listed here on Five Star Friday. I do believe we did overcome.

Thanks once again to all you readers out there and to all the writers and the generous people who submitted links for this week's edition. You are all what we're here for.
