Back in June, I blogged about a new service called "FolksTown.com". At the time, the importance of this service may not have been clear to many. Twitter has since become a household name. I recently discussed WeFollow, a twitter aggregator. Folkstown offers the same type of service, for Caribbean folks on twitter.

Techcrunch recently reported: Everyone is trying to take real time Twitter data and massage it into a useful, filtered news stream. Bit.ly has a new product on the way called Bit.ly Now.
