I spotted this on a post from Advocate’s Studio about Siftlinks, and thought it was worth a shot to replace the now-dropped ReadTwit. I just got started with it, and my impression is that it’s better than nothing, really. It doesn’t go through and grab the post from the link within the tweet, but it does at least show me the links. That’s something, at least. Hopefully, they will make some improvements including grabbing the full article being linked to, and give me some filtering options.
I guess, for now, my filtering options are to stop following people who post useless links, right? 😉

Hey Mike – thanks for the nod. My impression too is that it is pretty barebones, but it is, in fact, better than nothing. I will keep my eyes open for something more useful and “automatic”.

Yeah, I’m hopeful they either continue to make improvements or others jump into the space. I liked knowing I could catch links a second time, but there so much room for making it better still!
