I was doing a little work on a tool I wrote in April 2007 that pushed RSS content to Twitter, and made a simple enhancement: instead of having a Twitter account reflect the content of a single feed, I made it reflect the content of an arbitrary number of feeds.
This let me do something I've been wanting to do for a while, but never thought of using Twitter for -- I set it up to reflect the content of my blogging friends, people like Doc Searls, Scott Rosenberg, Scoble, Sylvia Paull, Andrew Baron, NakedJen, Nicco Mele, Michael Gartenberg, Marc Canter and a few others.
As usual with experiments, I'm not sure if this is going to amount to anything, but I thought it was worth noting. The tool is twitterRiver.root, and the feed it's associated with is friendsofdave:
http://twitter.com/friendsofdave
You may of course choose to follow this feed if you find it interesting, and I will probably release the tool at some point in the future.
PS: Arrington and Calacanis will find it gratifying that this is an aggregation of
blog posts not Twitter fire hoses. That's why it's possible to include
Scoble alongside Andrew Baron and Scott Rosenberg, without drowning them out.
