I have not been actively posting on SYNTHESiST for three weeks though I have continuously “curated” articles about innovation, development and change and shared links at SYNTHESiST on Facebook every day.

SYNTHESiST has shifted ad provider to Nuffnang from Google Adsense. Without explanation, Google stopped ad service to SYNTHESiST.
