Favorite Tweets, Keepers - Round One

More often than not when I read Twitter, I do so from my iPhone.  While reading Twitter, I often flag items as favorites as a reminder to go back and take a look at them from a larger device.  As I appear to have slid past 100 favorites, I thought I would post of few of them here to keep them for future reference.

1. Embed Tweet

Link to a service (well, javascript) that allows folks to post tweets in a webpage and have them look like this tweets actually do on Twitter:

2. What it means to be Irish

Great post from Niall Harbison of SimplyZesty.

 3. Curried Cauliflower

I need to try this out.  She has posted it a couple of times and I still have not tried cooking it.

4. Okkervil River

This is a tweet that lead me to one hell of a good live show when I was in Austin, TX back in April 2011.  Okkervil River is a great band to see live.

5. Great Photo of the Moon

I have to agree with the author of this tweet.  It is a great moon photo.

TweetLouder from SonicLiving

If you happen to be a Twitter user who enjoys music, TweetLouder is a website worth looking at.  TweetLouder is a free service from SonicLiving that will help find your favorite artists on Twitter.  TweetLouder works by scanning your favorite artists from Pandora, iTunes, last.fm, SonicLiving or Rdio.

I used TweetLouder to scan my Pandora station.  Here are some of the artists the service found on Twitter:

Arcade Fire   @arcadefire
Arctic Monkeys   @ArcticMonkeys
Blues Traveler   @blues_traveler
Cary Brothers   @carybrothers
Counting Crows   @countingcrows
Echo & the Bunnymen   @OfficialEATB
G. Love   @glove
Gorillaz   @gorillazband
Jack Penate   @JackPenate
Matisyahu   @matisyahu
Morrissey   @itsmorrissey
Oasis   @oasis
PIXIES   @PIXIES
Radiohead   @radiohead
Rufus Wainwright   @rufuswainwright
The Airborne Toxic Event   @Airborne_Toxic
The Beautiful Girls   @TBGmusic
The Format   @theformat
The Hold Steady   @theholdsteady
The Walkmen   @TheWalkmen
Wyclef Jean   @wyclef

TweetLouder also allows you to search for individual bands on a one-by-one basis.  I looked up Buffalo Tom, which I know to be @buffalotomband, but did not find them listed.  I then looked up Okkervil River (@OkkervilRiver) and TweetLouder found them instantly.

End result is that SonicLiving is provide a nice, free service that I am happy to have found.
