What do You Want to See More of on This Site?

In an effort to always stay ahead of the game and keep this website relevant, I want to get your thoughts real quick regarding what you would like to see more of on this website.
I have always had 2 posts per week, usually Monday and Thursday, with the Monday post being more thought provoking. Sometimes there are more posts, but I try not to so that we can encourage interaction and discussion over a few days. I fear that trying to post something daily will dilute the posts and take away some of the detail. What do you think?
I also try not to abuse Facebook and Twitter and send you a lot of stupid messages. I do this because I find it annoying when other people do it to me. But would you like to see more from me here? I am always reading interesting things on the web and can easily send quick links to stuff like that on these sites. Would this be a good thing?
Regarding the newsletter, I have many people that have requested that I send a weekly newsletter. I’m not against doing this, but would you rather see a newsletter weekly that is short or a longer one every 2-3 weeks?
Let me know what you think below! Thanks!

Quality over quantity!
I do appreciate the sharing of resources on Facebook. I tend to use it more like a newsreader/bookmark thing (that's how I got here just now), so that wouldn't bother me personally. I only get annoyed when people send a bunch of updates all at once.
I would like to see that sort of thing in weekly newsletter. Maybe some sort of "Hey look at this" weekly digest of the Twitter/FB spam I missed!
Quality above all else. I can't tell you how much garbage I get from others within our fields in an effort to get their name out. I believe you have a solid reputation built on quality. I personally think your newsletters and posts are perfectly fine the way they are currently. Not that I would be annoyed by hearing from you further but I think the quality of your posts would drop. Don't change for the sake of changing or because everyone else is doing it. "Stay on target"
I agree quality is much preferred over quality. 1 area I would like some insight into is unilateral iliospoas shortening and how to resolve it! Many comment on stretching and myofascial release as a means of liberating the muscle from tension, but little is mentioned regardinig its exisitence and corrective exercise. I.e. Would you strengthen contralateral iliopsoas in conjunction with the stretching/releasing protocol.
I am interested in more information about traumatic-induced DDD of the lumbar spine. I have treated with stabilization exercises which only seems to help when performed daily. I have implemented as much evidence-based treatment as I have found, but what are other interventions which are beneficial in pain reduction in the athlete or young, active and middle-age patient. Also, what are the best surgical interventions (fusion, laser disc ablation, facet resurfacing) out there that are most effective. Is it better to hold off on surgical (fusion or laser) or seek surgical intervention such as disc replacement early to avoid increased facet degeneration?
