Thanks for making me Internet famous Virginia! Now I owe you a Diddy Riese next time I’m in the valley. Hopefully it won’t have melted by then! As for Twitter, it makes sense that it’s useful for cutting down on the noise because our friends and associates vet the articles for us, or at least we can see how popular a story becomes even if it’s low on comments. Still, there’s definitely a place for feeds, but often times they’re woefully unoptimized (guilty) to best suite personal reading and selection.

No problem, Will! I think the new ways we get our news is a fascinating topic, especially because I always wanted to be a journo when I grew up. And I didn’t even graze the issue of the wider implications you mention! There are a lot of layers worth deconstruction in this story.

Thanks for the shout about my article, Virginia. I wondered about making a bigger deal of that trend – a few people have commented about it to me in discussion. Interesting thoughts… I think there are much wider implications for blog readership and audience development.

Another vote for TwitterBerry. So handy to separate out the replies, etc. I like being able to view the public timeline once in awhile too. On the computer, TweetDeck is my new favorite because it does the same thing as TwitterBerry does for my Blackberry.

Thanks for this great post. Though I knew about Tweet3 but WhosTalkin is a new tool that I cam across, thanks to your post. Hope it works for me.

Hey Meg! Oo, that’s good to know. It sounds easier than what I’ve been doing. Thanks!

Actually I use iGoogle for my feeds. I’ve set up tabs for different types of pages, SEO, AdWords, Domains, Affiliate stuff, News – whatever – and that way I can just tab through, look at the headlines, and see what’s happening; if something catches my eye, then I can read it, if not, move on.
