One of the reasons Twitter is growing in popularity so quickly is that it is such an excellent source of information. However, to really make that information useful, it needs to be curated and formatted. MyTweetmag lets you create a collaborative “magazine” with other editors.
All you have to do is set up an account, designate co-editors and designate a hashtag for your magazine. Then, MyTweetMag will pull the headlines from any links that you and your co-editors tweet with that hashtag. MyTweetMag also has a WordPress plugin so you can display your “magazine” on your blog.
It’s a nice idea, but so far the implementation is a little bit lacking. It took overnight for links I tweeted to show up in my magazine, which kind of goes against the “real-time” nature of Twitter. (To be fair, I suppose that could also be Twitter’s fault, given how often the Fail Whale has been visiting us as of late.) Also, this is totally subjective, but I have to say I’m not a big fan of the design.
Still, the app has a lot of potential, and could be quite useful, especially if the tweets could be imported more quickly.

Thank you for this review! The Tweet-Import is a bit problematic, as the number of requests is limited by the twitter-api, so we wanted to start with a low interval. We changed this now and tweets should be imported within 10 minutes.
Cheers
