We love Twitter but we hate that they have removed RSS feeds from users’ profiles and search. But while most systems designed to generate Twitter RSS feeds require you to hack around with the URL we thought we’d look at an easier way. So we developed these easy-to-use bookmarklets which allow you to generate RSS feeds for users’ profiles and search terms. A bookmarklet is a small piece of code that sits in your browser’s bookmarks toolbar. Like browser add-ons, they’re designed to add extra functionality to your browser or the sites that you regularly visit. Find out how bookmarklets can be used to help you interact with various social networks faster and easier. We have two Twitter RSS bookmarklets, one for profiles and one for searches. To use these, just drag the links from the page onto your browser’s bookmarks’ bar (Chrome and Firefox). If you’re using Internet Explorer just right-click on the links and select “Add to Favorites”. Get any user's Twitter RSS feed or a Twitter search term's RSS feed using these browser bookmarklets : http://goo.gl/S3rHn

Twitter has quickly become a favorite part of content marketing strategies employed by most businesses. The 140 character limit means that it doesn’t take much work, users have little inhibition about following quality profiles and it’s already optimized for mobile. Curating a quality Twitter feed lends itself to an answer for so many marketing questions that it would be hard to list them all here. Still yet, lots of users have no idea how to make 140 characters count. What we end up with is Twitter feeds consisting primarily of links and quotes. Quotes are an obvious place to start when you want concise snippets of text that convey wisdom and evoke strong emotions. In fact, the most successful Twitter users are almost always inspirational, funny or educational in nature. However, followers don’t want to follow a copy of someone that’s already in their feed, and as an online influencer you don’t want to be pigeonholed. Read more: http://bit.ly/KkfOb7

Did you know that Twitter is grabbing more new registrations than Facebook, with more than half of its entire userbase compromised of people who have signed up in the last year, compared to just 19 percent for Mark Zuckerberg’s baby? What if I said that almost a quarter (23 percent) of Facebook users check their account five or more times each day, Twitter users are 33 percent more likely to be Democrats or – sorry Foursquare – that 74 percent of Americans are unfamiliar with the concept of ‘checking in’. These, and several other amazing social media statistics, can be found in the infographic on social media statistics...

Robin Good: As you have probably already read somewhere else, this last weekend, Twitter launched a first-of-a-kind type of page. The page, which you can see here: https://twitter.com/hashtag/nascar revolves around the last NASCAR car racing event, that took place last Sunday and it apparently aggregates interesting tweets and comments from a group of passionate NASCAR fans.
The interesting thing is that this page is in fact not an automatically aggregated page of tweets having a specific hashtag. There have been plenty of tweets in here with no hashtag at all, or not even mentioning explicitly NASCAR. This is a human-curated page of tweets, selected from a curated list of relevant people for this topic. This is the real news. By mixing and matching technology-powered identification of relevant people and tweets for a specific topic, with an active layer of human curation allows Twitter to generate a page that's filled with value. Here's what Twitter itself wrote on his blog before launching it: "...throughout the weekend – but especially during the race – a combination of algorithms and curation will surface the most interesting Tweets to bring you closer to all of the action happening around the track, from the garage to the victory lane." And while this is only a first experiment from Twitter, I would bet that it will not be the last.
The value provided by adding a human curation layer, both to the selection of the sources as well as to the selection of the actual tweets, is huge.
What's your take?

Nice article on the changing landscape of competitive intelligence.
The use of social media, curations and real time monitoring are all high lighted.
