Lessons in Twitter Hygiene from Clo Willaerts is a handy dandy quick guide to help you avoid initial easy-to-make mistakes. Gotta love the hype cycle concept too.
For example, I did subscribe to a bot (daylife_feed) and, though it initially satisfied my news jones, the original news sources – the journalists, pundits, commentators and bloggers – are on Twitter, so you don’t need an aggregator. If you *do* want to isolate a keyword or phrase for, say, your company, daylife_feed is good for that. Of course, so is search.twitter.com.
