Bkkeepr | Track your reading and bookmark on the go
I either didn’t know James Bridle had done this or I’d forgotten. Bad of me either way. It’s very nice. A bit like LibraryThing, but you add/track/bookmark your reading via Twitter.

The Twitter Times: philgyford
Similar to Paper.li, things friends have linked to on Twitter. But… again, it assumes I’m more interested in the articles than what my friends say about them, the context. At least article text is inline, so quick to read.

The Twitter Phil Gyford Daily (Paper.li)
Paper.li is very interesting but… suffers from every problem I wrote about re finishability, readability, friction… I don’t want to read any of it. It also obscures the context (the tweets).

Simonw’s mytweets at master - GitHub
“Script for saving a JSON archive of your tweets.” I’m already archiving mine another way, but a handy thing nonetheless.

Read it and weep: Evan Williams of Twitter on Newsnight - the transcript | Technology | guardian.co.uk
What’s more depressing: The bored inanity of the Newsnight interview? That an event this unimportant is reported by the Guardian? Or the Guardian’s relentlessly anti-Twitter commenters? Tough call.

SMS Text News » 07624* is billed by Three and T-Mobile as an international text?
Twitter’s new UK SMS number will, on T-Mobile and maybe Three, still cost you silly money to use and won’t be included in your bundle.
