Thanks for the link!
Twitter can lead to lemmings behavior for sure, but equally it leads to great exposure potential. For me, it’s led to many new acquaintances, introductions to new tools, and news I’d never thought to even find before. Lots of exciting stuff comes to me via my Twitter stream.

This doesn’t make it a replacement but a nice addition to my life.

The good news Gary is I’m not a total addicts since I only have one twitter account. True but I like the colours so far.

Sounds like a good idea Frank however I still think it needs to snag both URL and tweet. I personally would like this feature added to TweetScan and think they could do it if they wanted to?

Janice – I like you also bookmark them using del.icio.us but I am more likely to follow a link on a blog than on Twitter because normally a blog post provides me with more information why I would want to check a link out. I also like the self paced nature of blog posts. But whether I like it or not the major traffic source for people checking out my blog is from Twitter.

Laura – My thoughts about twitter has always been if they don’t like what I twitter than feel free to unfollow. Me — I still go through my Reader first thing in the morning – used to be check overnight twitters first but no longer do this. Okay we’re both addicts.

I thought – Steven – that how they do this is by applying the restriction with the API so assumed that each would apply their own restriction rather than make it cumulative. I’ve also noticed this applies to the new update on Snitter but not the version I’m currently using.

The problem that arises from runing more than one Twitter client at a time is the Twitter itself restricts the number of calls that can be made via the API to 70 per hour (at times of peak events they cut this back to 50).

So when you are running more than one you very quickly approach the limit allowed.

[...] the way, Sue Waters, just published another excellent post about Twitter and some of the tools that you can use to access the messages and embedded urls. Sue is a legend. [...]

Okay, I’m on my way to addiction if not already there…only currently have one twitter account, although seeing good reason to have more than one after a few disgruntled followers moaned at me recently for tweeting on aspects other than just my nptech stuffs (they can always unfollow me if they don’t like my tweets I said!)
…and yes…
often end up hopping to more websites than using my RSS alone. Whereas used to check RSS first in the day, now often a lot later on, as Twitter gives me what I need…

and erm…
yes.. sometimes have more than one twitter app running out of curiosity of which one works best and fastest…
Okay – confess – I love twitter!!!

I agree that it’s hard to follow all the links on twitter and compile them somewhere. When I find one I like, I bookmark it in delicious and tag it with viatwitter. I like twitter, but I still prefer reading the conversation on blogs. It’s self paced, which is what I need , to take the time to consider ideas and think about them.

Funny! Thanks, Sue …

“..which if they’re not careful could ultimately limit their learning by getting sucked into group thinking.”

I agree! Hahaha…

My ideal twitter app is a combination of TwitBin (in the sidebar of FF), pretty as twhirl with all the bells and whistles, and snags the URLs like TwitBox that can also be easily archived or exported. Now THAT would be Twitterlicious!

P.S. TwitBox supports multiple twitter accounts, too,
