Link Roundup - November 30th, 2009
Here are my picks from the last two weeks, while I've been busy with other things. I've skimmed all of the articles below, and will probably have to return to read a few more closely, but each of them seemed interesting.
I've filtered out more than usual, simply because of the sheer number of links that collected in my in-box. (194 tweets, to be exact.) However, that also gave me an interesting opportunity to gather some statistics. For each link, I've given the twitter name of the person from whom I first saw the content. Since most of the tweets pop up in my box 2-3 times from different people, the list below is pretty much the list of people generating original content, or who are fastest at getting the content into twitter. Thus, it's kinda neat to see who's shaping the twitter conversations I follow.

Ooh nice new features. Time for me to start following @KatherineMejia, I think. Have you looked into automating the process yet?
Out of interest, why did does my post on the Economist GWAS article not have a twitter source?
I have looked into automating - I downloaded the source code for my twitter client, but haven't been able to get it to fully compile, yet. And, of course, I ran out of time last week.
As for why your post on the GWAS article has no twitter source, it was just because I got it from you, and your name was already in the title. For consistency sake, I should probably just add the source as well. Sheer sloppiness on my part. Thanks for catching that.
