About me
Mark Bennett is a financial writer, poor but honest golfer, occasional traveller, and keen observer of the human condition.
Why I use Clipmarks
I got booted off Newsvine because the things I was bookmarking "weren't news" - pah!

Clipmarks is better anyway, because I can pull together a suite of things from all over the internet in one place.
