Because Tweets are highly perishable, they’re very easy to miss, but sometimes there are some extremely powerful messages packed into those 140 characters.

I try to make a conscious effort to save some of my favorite tweets so that people who are considering following me can take a quick glance and see what to expect. Do you bother with ‘favorite tweets?’

These are only my personal tweets this time, which doesn’t seem to represent the true spirit of social media and building relationships. If you like this feature, I’ll continue to do it. Let me know. Do you want it to stay the same? Include tweets from others as well? Drop it all together, you’ll catch them on Twitter? You tell me.
