Just realised that @twitter follows @TheNextWeb. I wonder what happens when you DM Twitter...
If you're thinking of applying for an accelerator, it's worth checking @paul_a_smith's current tweetstorm of application faux pas.

There's a device in the corner of the room that mainly exists to pump spam marketing messages into my ears. Oh landline...
I wondered why Obama wasn't sorting out #Ferguson. Then I read this and shook my head at the world > http://www.vox.com/2014...

Or indeed @SimplyDoug1987 - I aged him by 9 years in that last tweet!

...although only one site went so far as to stick a comic sans redesign on their homepage :)
On this 'Tech Blog Logo Redesign Day' (which I've just named), I like @Recode's @engadget redesign best so far https://t.co/ByZDGGFXfO
...Of course, Richard D. James could be messing with us. Maybe they're track lengths in seconds?
I like how the BPMs of the new Aphex Twin tracks let you guess what they're like. I'm hoping the 163.97 one is some epic Drukqs type thing.
One reason I like Circa is for following 'long tail' news. I get updates on things like the Fukushima incident that most outlets don't touch
RT @TheNextWeb: .@engadget We thought about this over the weekend... dammit, you're right! >> http://thenextweb.com <<
This teenager could revolutionize malaria testing with a cheap smartphone attachment http://thenextweb.com/insider...
I can't understand why the #Ferguson trouble is still going on. How can the police get it so badly wrong after pulling it back on Thursday?
Product Hunt has launched an API > http://thenextweb.com/apps... (fun fact: this is the 6th post we've published about Product Hunt this year)
It's worth noting that Twitter Favorites have been exposed in the Activity feed for some time. Clearly no-one ever goes there though.
RT @shaftag: Tech Hub Manc is rebranding! We're open BAU. Plans will be revealed tomorrow. We're humbled by tonnes of support from across the UK & beyond

I've just (finally) finished Our Final Invention by @jrbarrat. Just as good as I expected. Perhaps the most important issue of the century.
Have spent the day talking to @DerekJohnBryant about his plans for retirement. A Tumblr about local history seems likely. Great stuff.
RT @jimwaterson: So, let's see how that "please don't upload Premier League goals to Vine" thing is working out: https://t.co/V4sg0dramn
Good to see Bradford's years-old mudpit is finally a building site. Still not sure Bradford needs a huge Westfield. https://twitter.com/MartinS...
Re: that last retweet: I hope Irish broadcasters openly flout that ruling, because it's ridiculous.
RT @paulbradshaw: Wow. MT @LyraMcKee: Irish broadcasting authority rules that gay people on air need to be "challenged" http://www.thejournal.ie/readme...
I wonder if @jeffjarvis would be more accepting of @ProfJeffJarvis if it had 'parody' in the bio? It's clearly not Jeff.
RT @fmanjoo: .@ProfJeffJarvis and @jeffjarvis are talking in the comments of Jarvis’s post calling ProfJarvis a troll http://buzzmachine.com/2014...
