I definitely do the "want to share but also 'bookmark'" thing with my Twitter updates. And, yes, hashtags somewhat solve this, but not really - at least not for me. I like the idea of lists on Thingist, but I don't want to have to categorize all my tweets.

If Thingist could automatically categorize my updates, but have a way for me to re-organize them, that'd be ideal. Seems like a decent amount of people fall into your same use case, where they tweet quotes, songs, videos, etc. Some of these would be easier to detect than others, but it's somewhat doable.

This seems some like weird cross section between Twitter, Tumblr, and delicious to me.




This is something that I've been trying to figure out for a while now...

Categorizing them is really, really hard to do. Look at the ways that this user uses the site: http://thingist.com/t/item/3051/

"Things that make me feel better when I'm sad" would be impossible to detect programatically.

"Show me all of the links to youtube or soundcloud I have posted" is totally doable, and is something that will probably happen within the next couple of days.


Touche. I'm thinking way too much like a programmer. Thanks for posting that link, it's a good reminder of how different people are.


There are services that add links you tweet to delicious
