twitlinks is a good start at trying to pull together a disparate and chaotic communication medium. it will mature I am sure, as the critics espouse their displeasure at how it functions – thats easy, any puppet can do that.

maybe something like dailytwitter when it finally goes into beta with go towards some of that data mining?

I’ll roll with #22 a bit – alltop (gosh — i can’t believe i’m about to say this) has already proven…..useful to me…and just a few days ago it was the cat’s pee.

Way to go, Guy – I suck! You rule! Or the day laborers you paid to put that site together for you rule.

Watch our, haters – you’re time is coming! It buuurrrrrrns. Be careful with the hate!

That said, does this Twitterish site actually do anything? No.

TechCrunch wasn’t all that valuable, or feature perfect, or well-defined in the beginning either. Truth is that heavy news consumers are migrating AWAY from the origin to the aggregators. TwitLinks is yet another with credibility behind its human filters. The question becomes, what is the credibility of the human “expert” filter posting links, which is not to say that Michael has none in his assessment (obv). However, it is to say that the mere act of spamming TwitLinks to prove that it can be done validates that it is the human filter that is the ORIGIN of any potential problem.

Can’t we stop asking technology to do EVERYTHING, and take some responsibility for our own approach, interests and behaviors in influencing how effective certain apps, and the medium overall, become in helping us to navigate the flood? TwitLinks is only as helpful as its contributors, so be helpful, please.

I missed the part where you explained the logic for that Anyway I can confirm that we weren’t paid to write about it.

The nice thing about Twitter Apps is the majority serve a purpose, and they are more creative&useful than 95% of Facebook applications. I still wonder why there is no Twitter Apps Fund yet
