Create Collaborative Newsstreams with Twitter and MyTweetMag

“There’s no such thing as information overload, there’s only filter failure.”


This famous quote from Clay Shirky exactly describes the purpose of MyTweetMag:

Twitter is a perfect tool for sharing information and links. But onbusy days you might get in trouble when you try to filter the rich newsout of the endless twitter-stream. MyTweetMag wants to help you tocurate the twitter-stream together with your twitter-friends and tocreate a collaborative newsstream for a certain topic.And this is how it works: Join the platform with your twitter-account, add some co-editors, select a hashtag and return to twitter.

In the future, MyTweetMag will import all tweet-links marked withthe hashtag and transform them into a clean stream of headlines andabstracts. The plattform also provides a plugin to integrate thenewsstream into any wordpress-blog.

What to use it for?


Use it as a collaborativebookmarking-tool, a social news platform or a recommendation stream foryour blog-audience. It’s up to you!
