Using Twitter To Manage Information

Since I published the first 25 people in my Top 50 Medical Tweeps I’ve been looking at the many ways I use Twitter. The list is growing…

To take a few examples, I use it to supplement my delicious bookmarking, I feed my tweets into my Facebook page and I find out about new books catalogued for my library. Of course, I also use Twitter as an RSS tool.

But here’s a full range of people who get “favourited” during my information practices (but Part II of my Top 50 Medical Tweeps list will be published soon):
