Yes, we are all very busy these days. And with each new day, there seems to be some application created to make our lives even more busy. Maybe it’s just me, but I sometimes find Twitter actually makes me less productive. One of the downsides of following a lot of people in twitter is that you sometimes waste lots of time just sifting through all of the tweets.
Twitter for Busy People wants to help make it simple to see what’s going on. There is nothing to sign up for. Just go to the home page and enter your Twitter name and you’ll see a listing icons from people you are following (up to 500). Hover over an icon and you can see that person’s latest tweet. You can even see an entire conversation thread. Twitter for Busy People also offers a bookmarklet that will make it easy for you to check in on the latest updates.
I can’t say for sure this will save you time because I’m not a heavy Twitter user, but at first glance it does seem to streamline things a bit.
