Twitter Lists make happy tweeters.
Twitter fatigue: you follow a ton of fascinating people on Twitter, but how can you reasonably keep up with that much information, even in 140-character blasts?

Spending Sunday with @FunkyPlaid by the fire, and no growing dread of what Monday will bring … *perfect*. # An ad on my website offers help for alcoholism NOW. I had three drinks on Saturday night! This algorithm is actually my Italian grandmother. # Finally visited the Googleplex! @FunkyPlaid and I were truly impressed by the innovative campus and engaging people. # It never fails: a billion time-sensitive emails come in the one day I am not in front of my computer. And I suck at iPhone email replies. # I appreciate having the time and energy to explore this city, and I hope I still have the time and energy to do so once I am re-employed. # Up too late partying! Or writing cover letters. I kind of feel hungover; does that count? # Video: Want some holiday...
