[...] I do not use auto-tweeting tools like Reader2Twitter, because I take as much effort as possible to attribute my sources. If you are using such tools, it makes sense to auto-tweet to a different Twitter account, like [...]

Somehow I missed this post initially, what a wonderful way to implement sharing and attribution. The social aspect is why I like to quote instead of RT at times, so I can add the history of the tweet, or make my own comment about an interesting read.

By now I'm confident many of my followers are following you on their own, as I find great value and share your finds with them. Great curation/filtering Mahendra, always appreciate the time you put into your discovery & sharing.

Rakesh, I'm not sure if “Liking” bumps up the item in magic sort for others. It is documented that it is used to determine magic sort order for you.

However, I did not understand how that relates to attribution as discussed here. Thanks for visiting!

What about `Liking´ stuff on GReader? I think that bumps up the post for others when `sorting my magic´. I personally dont share posts on GReader because of the attribution problem (use twitter instead).

Oh…that is very interesting. Essentially it makes Twitter like Google Reader. Though all this is off-topic for the subject of my post, thanks again!

Nope not the links I share, but those shared by those I follow. On twitter I miss out on a lot of good stories because I'm not checking twitter 24/7. The service helps me catch up later on, the next day, or few hours later. Also, I noticed another thing. A few RSS feeds only shows the headline and one line intro. But if the same link comes through Readtwit I can see a large part of the story It also shows the original tweet, which is always interesting.

Bala, ReadTwit makes an RSS feed out of the links you share on Twitter, not your followers. I haven't seen a need of such a feed yet. Would love to understand how/why you use it.

Interesting read.. have you tried out http://www.readtwit.com it makes an rss feed out of links shared by your followers on twitter. Not all links turn up, I don't know how their algorithm works, but a really good service.

Poonam, when you retweet or reshare, the issue of attribution doesn't arise (as long as you retain the @source in your retweet). It arises when you share across platforms – discover on one, and share on another.
