Standing Partnership's picks of must-read links for the week

1. Via Beth Minnigerode, this handy reference from the National Council of State Legislatures. Use it to stay on top of the social media presence of legislative caucuses.
2. The New York Times' Prescriptions blog is doing an interesting series answering reader's questions about how health reform impacts the everyday Jane or Joe. 
3. Education Week reveals how K-12 education is using social media to teach.
4. Via our friend Charles Owens, we learn that Google has offered us yet another invaluable tool -- Google Reader can now create RSS feeds from websites that don't have them . . . allowing us to subscribe to changes on ANY website. Hallelujah!
5. Standing Partnership has a long history of working in crisis communications and issues management. That said, we've never witnessed the doozy that is the BP PR nightmare. Here are 5 PR Nightmares that were handled far better than the BP oil spill.
6. In the "cool" category, a mashup that's way overdue: Netflix meets IMDB.
