We agree with Michael Arrington: “There is a whole new class of people that don't necessarily blog but all they do is read everything, constantly, on Google Reader or whatever and they disseminate that on twitter or whatever… and those people are an increasingly important part of the ecosystem”.
foldier is the perfect tool if you are one of those people or you want to become one!
