"The current de facto scoreboard of the internet has done its baleful calculations and announced that a spambot is more influential on Twitter than the very creator of Twitter itself. Clearly this is outlandish! ... In case I didn't foreshadow this enough, here comes the smug contrarian argument: Klout, at least in this instance, is right."

Yep.

"Nothing Horse_ebooks had been or even remotely intended to create could have matched this response: smart people debating, condemning and mourning the loss of a vaguely defined artificial voice and sincerely declaring that they preferred the early work of a spam bot better than its compromised new stuff."

"A better example that these streets are not our streets won’t be found in Britain today."

Wow. Tower Bridge appear to have stolen @towerbridge from @infovore: That's really shoddy behaviour.

Good evening, twitternet haunted beef hordes.

"It’s just going to get worse, and Twitter needs to put some solutions in place. For a start, they should pull trends. By listing trending topics, they’re in turn helping to generate all this spam, some of which may harm their own users. Pull trends until some actual spam protection is in place."

Yep.

Superb takedown from last month of the Times' Twitter-bashing.

Twitter should use this.

Nifty.

We live in the future.

The trend for Mad Men characters getting fake Twitter streams reaches its logical conclusion, as their office photocopier tells the world what it's doing right now.

Superb stuff

Somebody ACTUALLY WROTE THIS. We urgently need a wanker cull.

The Phoenix probe on Mars is Twittering. The Phoneix probe probably has more uptime than Twitter, though...

Jesus, we need a cull pretty urgently

London's 4th right now, but maybe more active than normal because of the elections.

TwitterFilter. Actually not bad. Should have a submit feature.

Searches your Twitter contacts for spam muppets with ridiculous following/follower ratios. YES! TAKE THAT, YOU BASTARDS.

"This is a hideous tool that can be used to export your entire Twitter timeline to a CSV file"

Best use of Twitter EVAR

Like "Is It Christmas?", except it comes more than once a year.

Looks like it could be neat - Hackday project that does information querying via Twitter. No idea if it works, though...

The different elements are really nicely integrated.
