There is now an Afghanistan Analyst group on Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=72373045999
The purpose of the group is to regularly post links to new reports and analysis that will only make it into a bibliography update twice per year at this location. Also, the wall is open for any member to post links they think are newsworthy.
The group is open to all Facebook members. So feel free to join.

If you are curious about the numbers of visitors to this website, and other related stats, you can read this summary here.
In about 6 weeks (or more) the 4th edition of the bibliography should be released. As usual, I welcome your suggestions, especially for sources from peer-reviewed/refereed academic journals, the academic press and well-established research institutes.
I also welcome your general inquiries. I am always happy to suggest tailored reading lists or to point out the relevant resource or link for your project (if I feel I actually know). And if you have a resource or link that I have missed, please email it to me.
