Twitter Meets Social Bookmarking With TwitThis

I like Twitter, although it can be sometime a productivity killer :)

Since Twitter is quite popular I'm sure we'll be seeing this on a lot of blogs soon. It won't be on mine though. I'm using Sociable by Peter Harkins.

I love twitter, but i'm wondering how overrun it will become if people start doing serious social bookmarking in it. I think that's why we have del.icio.us and the others. I'm all for mashing, but this seems like it's prone to get out of control.

If you are looking for a Treo / Palm OS application to post to Twitter, you can take a look to our new freeware, TreoTwit:

BEST ADVICE

4.Follow the twits that follow you…unless they are spammers.
