random bits of micro-content goodness from greg verdino: marketer, futurist, speaker and author of microMARKETING (mcgraw-hill / 2010)
Interesting stats on gender differences on Twitter from Hubspot.
Sweethearts might be the original micro-messager, doling out lovey-dovey phrases short enough to fit on one of their pastel-colored, chalky-tasting candy hearts. This year, the company adds "Tweet Me" to their repertoire of little love notes.
It's nice to see that even a company that has been around for a century and a half can find inspiration in, erm, @gremanda.
Interesting stuff - the top trending topics by category for all of 2009.

@danzarella's research into the science of Twitter reveals the most retweetable words and phrases -- and proves that we're just as boring and desperate as we think we are... ;-)

California agency Ink Foundry names 20 twitterati who are real deal when it comes to social media. Somehow, I made the list.
It's not Twitter, it's the anti-twitter (or an "homage to Twitter" if you'd rather look at it that way.) Woofer is a macroblogging service that mimics Twitter's spare interface but asks users to post messages that adhere to a 1,400-character minimum.
