This post was written by Tara Calisham: "I have a terrible time following Twitter. There are lots of people who have interesting Tweets, but I don't like to hang around and watch the stream all day. I can add list activity to Listimonkey but what seems to me to be the ideal solution is still not available. (The ideal solution is to have Twitter lists available as RSS feeds. TWITTER ARE YOU LISTENING!? ARGH!) Ahem. The fact remains that I worry about missing things.

The Web site Chirrps (http://chirrps.com/) offers one potential solution -- a directory of popular tweets. The front page has the latest popular tweets and popular tweets in the news category. But there are many other categories available. I looked at the most popular tweets in tech.

Each listing shows the original tweet, an excerpt from the linked article if appropriate, and the date and time tweeted as well as the number of times the item was retweeted.

This post was written by Richard Georges: "Docstoc Documents, Templates, Forms, Ebooks, Papers & Presentations. One of the handiest Internet sites for lawyers is the Docstoc site, where thousands of legal documents are freely shared by others. It is like having a huge law firm with a big document databank. It is free, and you still have to be a lawyer, and use the forms merely as a preliminary guide; but, I have saved a lot of drafting hours by using forms I initially found here. Standard forms and templates are dangerous if you don't modify them to suit your State and your client. However, as a starting point, they can be very handy."

This post was written by Simon Fodden:  "As the globe shrinks (the name for a new soap opera?), we're challenged more and more to speak in unfamiliar tongues. And the problem becomes getting that chunky or deceptive bit of foreign prose out of our mouths with something less than extreme prejudice. How do you say Löwenbräu, risotto, Lech Wałęsa, Eyjafjallajökull, or even Советских, come to that? Heck, most of us can't even say Moscow properly in English.
