We might follow lots of friends on Twitter, but how can we be sure we’re not missing some uber-interesting news in the design field? Should we keep an eye on TweetDeck 24/7? Yeah, some of us do that, but there’s also another way – 10 different ways in fact. Let’s discover them one by one.
Topsy
Topsy is a new kind of search engine, with a new way of looking at the Internet. Topsy doesn’t think the Internet is a collection of documents. Or even a web of documents. Topsy sees the Internet as a stream of conversations

Streamy is all about news. To see recommended stories and activity from friends and topics, start here
Scoopler

TweetMeme
TweetMeme is a service which aggregates all the popular links on Twitter to determine which links are popular. TweetMeme categorises these links into Categories, Subcategories and Channels, making it easy to filter out the noise to find what you’re interested in
