Are you Big 10'd out yet, Bitmobbers? Well, too bad -- after our two big year-end lists, we didn't want to shortchange the month of December, so we've got one more for you.
And it's a doozy. Even during the holiday season, our noble community members stayed on their A-game. This month's list features everything I love about Bitmob: humor, news reporting, critical analysis, personal anecdotes, and more. One article even made the Big 10 without a front-page promotion. And three others probably would have topped the list in a less competitive month.
My point is: you guys rock. Thanks, congrats, and enjoy!
