It used to be that if a link was worth sharing, people would bookmark it for all to see on del.icio.us. Now, they just Twitter it (with a shortened URL). Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to separate out all the Tweets with links in them, and sort them by time or popularity? That is what MicroPlaza does in a nutshell.
MicroPlaza is still in a very limited private beta, but I have 100 invites for TechCrunch readers. Once you log in, you are presented with a stream of headlines, along with everyone who Twittered the link to that page. You can see a personal timelime made up only of links from people you are following on Twitter, or a public timeline to see what everyone is linking to. Each timeline has its own RSS feed.
The headlines can be sorted chronologically or by popularity. The more people who Twitter about the same link, the more popular it gets. Each time someone Tweets a link, it becomes more popular (although there is a time-decay function so that you only see the most recently popular links and associated headlines.
Since most of the time these links are articles or blog posts, MicroPlaza distills the headlines for you and gives you a sense of what is capturing everyone’s attention on Twitter. Any headline can be bookmarked, and you can group the people you follow into different “tribes,” and then keep track of each tribe. MicroPlaza also lets you look at everyone you are following and see their most recent links.
2 weeks ago, I’ve discovered a similar site in the comments in one of your posts:

After a look… I have to confess: Microplaza has a better design
thx for the invite!
Uff.. Invite link is already invalid. But do have a look here http://www.twee....com/lalchetian

Can’t live without it anymore
A digg for Twitter.
well it looks worth to sign ..thanks
Good! I want an invite! [: )
Move your mouse pointer to that green underlined word in the article above and then, gently, with your righthand, while the pointer changes into a little hand, click at the upper left button on your mouse.
Oh! thankyou!
“Sorry, this token has expired. Follow us on Twitter to get your hands on an invite code.” :’(
Would appreciate an invite
Cool. Was searching for something like this . I came along a site which have been quite helping in increasing my twitter followers . http://www.twee....com/lalchetian
Uuggh!! I block people that promote Tweeter Getter. What a crappy way to chase down followers, and mostly used by people who want to promote stuff rather than have reciprocal relationships. Just look at the way it is inappropriately being spammed in the comments of this post!!
I do wish I could get a beta invite to MicroPlaza. That is a tool I’d like to check out.
Very interesting ! I would appreciate an invite very much.
Many thanks in advance
Thank you!
Very cool site once your twitter friends update. Took a few minutes, but now I see the point of this site.

What about tweetmeme. Tweetmeme is a ‘link catcher’ for twitter which doesn’t require you to sign up! They also categories all the tweets and show nice image excerpts.

Hey Daniel, tweetmeme looks really nice. You don’t need to sign up for the public timeline. Signing up allows you to see your personalized timeline and to bookmark interesting websites.

Wow. I wouldn’t mind checking this out if you can spare one of those invites. I’m a believer in Twitter now every since Jason Fried Twittered one of my blog posts and our traffic went through the roof!
You come into his father’s kingdom if you are U.S. propagandists
The right to bear arms human right
Just crap in the tax payer
Just slide

General amnesty
more invites about to be tweeted by http://twitter.com/microplaza
Scarcity is good. But do not exaggerate. If you can spare another one…
I don’t want an invite. this is useless
I don’t really care about seeders or categories, that’s why i use http://twittersphere.com
This is so good, I had to come back and Thank You!
Because of apps like feedly and Microplaza, maybe I can spend more time interacting on ff and twitter then I have previously.
Sign me up for MicroPlaza, please.
guys, you might also want to check out Jigni.com, which is a more advanced news link sharing network – basically it’s twitter without the twits – just the links. http://www.jigni.com

This is pretty cool. I built a yahoo pipe long ago to creates an RSS feed of things people link to:
