Our Week In The Web: November 7, 2014

We wish we had more open-ended web-related reflections to talk to you about today, but instead, what we really want to say to all of our generous listeners and online followers after a hard week for this program is: thank you. Thanks for your support, your kind words and your heartfelt messages. They mean so much to everyone here at On Point and at WBUR, and especially to our host, who is in all of our thoughts in this difficult time. So thank you. The Internet can sometimes be a cruel place, but when you rally around together like this community has, it can make all the difference in the world.
