Selection of My Twitter Favorites, Edition 26

Twitter is a microblogging service where people answer the question "What are you doing?" via 140-character messages from their cellphone, laptop or desktop. You can select the messages you find useful, amusing, or both. Here is the 26th edition of My Twitter Favorites (the oldest post is at the bottom, the newest at the top):

Scobleizer Twitter is a data black hole. Quick, pull out all Tweets that contained words Obama and McCain on election night. I can't do it.
Leo Laporte
leolaporte Thanks for the responses. I had no idea how undisciplined we American drivers are. I shall hug the right lane henceforth (except in the UK).
Loic Le Meur
loiclemeur So the funny thing is that everybody calls me to tell me Arrington is irrelevant but they call me talk only about him for an hour. Yeah well

loiclemeur @kevinrose I always love when you email me but even more when you notice that I answer you
Steve Rubel
steverubel Other than Microsoft Office, everything else I do is in a browser. I suspect that my Office use will be browser based in a few years too.
Leo Laporte
leolaporte Cultural question: it seems that even on a 3-lane highway (like the A11) the French stick to the right lane except for passing. True?
Kevin Rose
kevinrose broke 80k followers, welcome all, thanks adding me. hopefully I can provide you w/something of value, like this: http://tinyurl.com/6nuzge
Lance Armstrong
lancearmstrong Btw, this control was for blood AND urine.

HowardKurtz
HowardKurtz Google's top search this year: Obama. Yahoo's top search: Britney. If I were Yahoo, I don't think I'd use this in my ads.
Doug Borst
TrueB It took my mom a while to figure out YouTube, but now all she does is look up funny videos of cats riding on roombas.

johnbattelle In conversation with @fredwilson, a thought occurred: Blogs are slow food, Twitter is fast food. But the nutrition in in the mix.

Micro-blogging on Twitter is easy, fun and can be very useful and educational if you follow/subscribe to interesting people.
