Here is the third in a new series of posts that provide
access to my favorite tweets that contain links to useful information.
Some of these I did to link to things I found useful and others are RTs that I
want to save for the same reason. Since Twitter archiving is an oxymoron, I am
now going to post my favorite links for the month so they can be easily
accessed later. I will repeat this once or twice a month depending on the
volume.
nice how to use Twitter Lists from Mashable http://bit.ly/30JjWj Nov 4
Bill you have seen the "easy link" haven't you?
I think it's @scobleizer who's popularizing it.
Your favourites (sorry, I'm British) are at:
http://twitter.com/billives/favorites - and it's a good way of checking what people you follow like. My "favorites", sadly, tend to be funny/acerbic.

Steve - Thanks tell me more. I create this list by marking certain tweets as favorites and then copying it into word and into a post. How does easy link work? Bill

I'm probably teaching my grandmother to suck eggs. Robert Scoble shares tweets he's interested in just by marking them as "favorite" - starring them.
If you want to see everything he's favorited, just go to the link http://twitter.com/scobleizer/favorites.
Whenever you go to that link, you see *everyting he's favorited, most recent first. Another example is http://twitter.com/VMaryAbraham/favorites - where I'm flattered to find one of my tweets joins you in the list.
It's probably really easy but is was all credit to the exceptionally busy Robert Scoble I found it. It was buried in his post http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/13/twitter-lists-lifechangin/

Steve - Thanks. I thought there might be more because of the Twitter archive issue. This is the first step of what I do. However, I am under the impression that you cannot not go back very far as twitter does not maintain its index but for only a few weeks. Second, it is a very long linear string to look at. That is why I went to these posts. Not convinced it is the best way, just a work around. Bill
