Hi Ruth – if it wasn’t clear, this was a repost of a piece from MediaUK.com – I’m sure they’d be happy to add you to the list if you ask them!

James – thanks for the comment – I’ve recently started using Posterous – which auto posts items to my blog. Given comments on another recent post, I think I may have to rethink the whole Posterous repost routine. Appreciate the link to the updated list – I’ll edit this post to redirect people to the original list.
