María Rosa from Spain has started a new blog named Punto de Papel in which she is posting her bookmark collection.

Here’s another experiment. There are several folks out in the internets who regularly post images from their collection of bookmarks. As they update their listings, I thought I’d provide a weekly roundup of those links.
