40+ useful tweets in 4 days!: Twitter aggregation as a means of sharing community knowledge

I was a skeptic about twittering, seeing it as useless chatter, until in the weeks leading up to this year's conference, I found I was becoming a regular reader of twitter feeds tagged #MW2009 because they were producing one or two url's a day that were useful references.

Now that we are back, and I have a moment away from the logistics of running a conference, I am pleased to see that during the meeting the number of useful references increased even from one or two to over ten a day. I thought it might be helpful to share with others the tweets I found that referenced interesting sites, posts or tools, since there were many hundreds to sort through.

Jennifer says I should have used screen captures to show these tweets rather than simply listing them, but this troglodyte fails to see how that adds value:-)
