Every month I make a short list highlighting my choices of the best resources I shared through (and learned from) Twitter, but didn’t necessarily include them in posts here on my blog.
I’ve already shared in earlier posts this month several new resources I found on Twitter — and where I gave credit to those from whom I learned about them. Those are not included again in this post.
If you don’t use Twitter, you can also check-out all of my “tweets” on my Twitter profile page or subscribe to their RSS feed.
Here are my picks for October’s Best Tweets (not listed in any order):

You tweet so much, Larry, I don’t know how you keep it up.
Anyway, I hope you do keep it up. You’re a great source for me and many others.
Larry,
That’s a great list. Picked up a few things that I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for the mention.
