Did You See It In The Times?

NFAIS members are aware of the usefulness of Twitter for purposes of current awareness; see for example the twitter stream from NFAIS member organization, AIP. Are they aware as well of The Twitter Tim.es? A social recommendation system, TwitterTim.es looks at the tweets of those you follow as well as those who are re-tweeting items from those same individuals. It then generates an aggregated set of items as a customized newspaper. *Very interesting*. For example, I doubt that I would have seen Mark Cuban's piece on the significance of Twitter replacing Google as a mechanism for news-gathering, had it not been for seven Twitterati pointing and retweeting it, driving it to the head of my newspaper on TwitterTim.es.
