Like many, I do a lot of my tweeting through my iPhone when I’m anywhere but my desk. I read while standing in line at the grocery store, or waiting to board an airplane, etc. Often I’ll find great insights or links to resources that I want to follow up on. So I “favorite” them. This little star is a great way for me to flag the best-of, and things I want to return to. They are also a great way for you to tap into what any tweeter really likes. On any profile, just click on “favorites” to see all the tweets that user has favorited.
Often when I hit that little star I’m intending to blog about it. Frequently, I don’t have the time to craft lovely prose about these nuggets of wisdom. But you deserve them. So, I give you a brain dump of some favorited tweets. It’s just a beginning. There will be more brain dumps, I promise.
Click on the links to find rich content, click on the username to see their Twitter profile and add the authors to those you follow. And add your own favorites in the comments below.
