This post is now outdated. I just started using the awesome Socialite. By all means, this twitter method still works, so feel free to use it.

I “unfollowed” everyone but a few. I “followed” the official tweets of only a few sites (Lifehacker, Zen Habits, etc.). I go through them on my ipod touch via the Twitter app, sending interesting links to Instapaper along the way.

+ I can only star as favorite, but it simplifies the method without complex tags.

+ Only article titles are generally shown, making skimming easier.

+ Some sites, like @Lifehacker, only publish top or feature articles in twitter. Less posts to read. Do I miss anything interesting or important to me? Probably not.

+ If the intended website does not have its own Twitter, I follow the blog creator’s/writer’s Twitter. They generally tweet links to new posts.

+ If I miss out checking twitter and miss a string of tweets in the middle, then oh well. No worries. I let go.

+ Simple = win.

Hope this helps. Jaya Sri Rama!
