I’ve just seen a really flattering post by the guys at ShoutEm, the ‘Roll Your Own Microblogging Community’ tool, which puts this little blog in distinguished company as one of the 4 Best Microblogging Blogs on the Web (their words, not mine!).

It’s great to be listed alongside the guys at Microblink, the rightly micro-famous Laura Fitton, and the Problogger himself, Darren Rowse’s TwitTip.

It’s also made me feel a bit guilty, as I’d be the first to admit posting has dropped recently, due to some reasons I can’t share quite yet. But the next couple of days should see some things fall into place, and some changes happening pretty quickly. Plus much, much more posting!

It was also fun to see someone pick up on the Tweet of the Week series – definitely something which will be continuing on a more regular basis (hopefully weekly before I end up having to change the name!)

And possibly one of the Tweets of all-time:

Link to the original Tweet, and to Hugh’s own blog post on it.

And take a look at the other Tweets of the Week…

I had to resurrect the ‘Tweet of the Week’ series after the following message caused involuntary laughter:

Tweet of the Week #6 by @sizemore

And enjoy the rest of the Tweet of the Week series. And please do contribute with any you spot!

The first is my contribution to the debate on whether Twitter and the real-time web will replace Google. I couldn’t decide which blog to post it on, as it crosses over to both my sites, so apologies for the linkage.

So to brighten things up with something more light-hearted:

Get your Status on a T-Shirt with Twitoshirt

That’s right, you can now quickly and easily post your favourite status message at Twitoshirt, and then proudly wear your (or someone else’s) genius for just $16.99.

Whether or not you’d want to might be another matter.

But it does make me wonder if I should revive the Tweet of the Week, and if I’ve missed a business opportunity there!

I let the Tweet of the Week series slip a bit, so here’s one that I saved after it made me laugh in the middle of the office. From @JamieC

Internet legend Tim O’Reilly has already compiled some classics from his Twitter friend list.

My favourite? @sacca: You can’t really appreciate the vapidity of most people’s taste in music until you live directly above a traffic signal.

Simply perfect, and coming from Twitter co-founder Biz Stone (@biz).

Funnily enough, our first Tweet of the Week was from fellow Twitter co-founder Evan Williams!
