What nuggets of information are waiting for us on this Monday morning?

RSS Mixer lets you combine and force multiple feeds to play nice so you can take different streams information and use it as you please. This isn’t something new but for such a simple process that can give a user such a wide range of abilities this has always been difficult to pull off with services I have used in the past. Let my feeds mingle damnit.
The Guardian (think Buckingham Palace) seems to think the growth in social networking will come from “niche” sites. I+A feels like you have to bring something really strong to the table to succeed as a restrictive (in terms of ability and content) or gated social networking site over something that is similar but open.

Regular Geek provides us required reading for Social Media.

And finally we leave you with the Monday morning workplace frustrations of one of our local Kansas City twitter users.
