There have been a ton of excellent posts articles and launches over the past week and a half that have gone largely unmentioned on the blog. Just in case SEOmoz is the only source you're reading (in which case you're really missing out) I thought it would be worthwhile to point out some of these great reads.

• SEW has an article on SE Labs in which MSN's keyword permutation tool keyword group detection tool and context-based acronym tool are mentioned. If you haven't already checked these out they're worth a look (particularly for advanced KW researchers). I also think their detecting commercial intention tool is very valuable for KW research in the retail/commercial sector. A full list of MSN tools shows more than a dozen.
• Evil Matt Cutts - funny stuff particularly the depth of attention to his posts. Barry sniffed out the owner pretty quickly.
• Is it possible that life is returning to Ask.com?
• Two birthdays - Danny's and Google's.
• John Battelle had a good interview with MC - I thought Matt did a nice job of (almost) actually answering the question of human interaction with search algorithms.
• The DMA & SEMPO are both going to offer SEO "certification" - I'm waiting to hear who the teachers and course creators are before I weigh in but I will say that I'm very very skeptical at this point.
• Aaron updated his history of search engines article. It's an amazingly good resource.
• Similarly Andy Hagans wrote a guide to beating the sandbox that I agree with almost universally (though I have some additions that I should probably write about at some point)
• Google updated their Google Trends tool - very cool stuff.
• Jumpcut which lets you make movies through your browser has been acquired by Yahoo!
• Surprisingly Wallop looks pretty good. Someone send me an invite please :)
• Oilman made it to #89 on the Technorati Top 100 Favorites list. Let us know how that traffic is Todd.
• Donna's right - Internet Summer is over.. Traffic has been rising nicely for us too.
• Lee Odden has the lowdown on the Pew Future Internet Predictions Report.
• A brilliant post from Creating Passionate Users on why users don't upgrade (something for us to keep in mind as we update SEOmoz)
• Brian Clark had two phenomenal posts for the bloggers out there - 9 Important Words for Business Bloggers and 5 Simple Way to Open Your Blog Post with a Bang.
• Dr. Garcia has free SEO advice... listen up folks as an IR scientist he knows his stuff.
• As a nice endnote Steve Rubel is telling us why we shouldn't write blog posts like the one I've just authored.

I'd love to know from readers - do you find these kind of wrap-up posts valuable? Would you like to see more of these? Are you already reading 99% of this stuff?
