I don't have time to sit on Twitter all day in the hope that something comes along that's interesting. A summary via email would be much better.

One of the main benefits of Twitter is that it is very instant and therefore very timely. If you lose that you can often get better depth and detail from more traditional sources. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

Nearly all the tweets linked to stories that were out of date — which isn’t too surprising, since most tweets get “stale” within an hour or two, and this is a “weekly digest.” Seems like a tough problem for Twitter to solve.

I find it a bit of a pain to try and track conversations when scrolling in reverse order (latest at the top to oldest at the bottom).

This is about curation and discovering relevant content.

To access it you go to https://twitter.com/settings/notifications and set your preferences.

I mean who has time to sit on Twitter all day waiting for something to come to them? This is a much better approach as the best tweets then come to you.

A digest would be a useful feature. It certainly works well on LinkedIn.

Is your blog based digest quite labour intensive to put together?
