The PostRank Newsroom: Twitter For High-Value Information - Read The rise of link sharing on Twitter has cut down on many peoples' use of RSS readers and social bookmarking services like Delicious. Now blog post ranking service PostRank is aiming to systematize that shift - and they've done a really good job. Imagine a system for delivering only high-value information via Twitter. That's what PostRank has built with its new PostRank Twitter Newsroom. The system finds the most engaging blogs on various topics, then automatically pulls the most talked-about posts from those blogs and now delivers those links to you via Twitter. Trust us, we're as tired as you are of blog posts about Twitter - but these kinds of developments on top of the platform keep us coming back, day after day. We're big fans of PostRank here at ReadWriteWeb. Now PostRank has taken the next step and discovered the blogs about various topics that are most "engaging" with their own readers.
