As you might have gathered by now, I’m a Twitter fan. As mentioned before, Twitter is one of my all-time favourite social media sites (here’s my account). In 140 words or less, Twitterers post (or “tweet”) about what’s important to them right now, anything from “I think I’m going to have a beer now” to late-breaking news to links to interesting web sites – there’s no limit to the topics.

One of the things that you can do in Twitter is gather a list of your favourite “tweets”. I love those favourites – witty, profound, humourous, eloquent quotes not by Churchill and Mother Teresa (nothing against them, of course!) but by my smart, insightful, funny Twitter friends. Every once in a while I go to these favourites and look at them like a collector would savour her pre-1970’s model trains.

Such a great collection should be shared, don’t you think? Below is a little taste, and here is the full collection. In order to give a nod to my Twitter friends, I’ve also included their blogs.
