Saturday links: long form curation

We do not normally publish links on Saturday.  However today we want to try an experiment in long form curation.  That is take a look at some longer pieces that readers might not have had time to read during the week.  The first few we mentioned in this week’s linkfests.  The last two are new.

There seems to be a growing interest in long form curation, see LongForm and LongReads, due in part the popularity of the iPad.  Many readers find reading longer pieces on the iPad easier and much more enjoyable.  One program Instapaper seems to be a favorite of many, including Barry Ritholtz. Thanks for checking out this new, and potentially ongoing feature.  We welcome your feedback.
