- What is the purpose of the World Economic Forum at Davos? What is the meeting of international business leaders and politicians trying to achieve? Here is a quick guide to the forum, including who is coming and some of the major themes of this year's gathering. uk.reuters.com
- The WEF has compiled a Twitter list of delegates who will be tweeting from the conference, including South African President Jacob Zuma, Microsot Chairman Bill Gates and Queen Rania of Jordan. twitter.com There is also a media list of journalists and organisations tweeting from Davos. twitter.com

- We have had a flurry of emails this morning notifying us of the big names who will no longer be attending the WEF meeting in Davos. Former British PM Tony Blair, who is a Member of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum, is among those to pull out. President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Nigerian President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua have also decided they have something better to do this week.
- More on the no shows -- Reuters' Steve Eder in New York writes that while last year all but one major U.S. bank CEO attended the WEF, many of them will be missing this time round. Being seen wandering the streets of ski resort Davos and hanging out with Bono is not the best image to project in this harsh economic climate, apparently. www.reuters.com
- Bankers will be on the defensive in Davos, argues the New York Times. "The world’s top bankers will arrive in Davos just as the political mood in Washington and other capitals is turning against the financial industry again." www.nytimes.com

- What's the attraction of Davos? David Ignatius, blogging in The Washington Post, explains why people keep coming back year after year.
