Here’s a few Twitter links for your Wednesday:

• Obamba’s Twitter Ac has stopped updating since the election. Ironically his follower numbers have escalated faster than normal since then.

I’d like to include ‘Twitter news’ here on TwiTip and so thought that the best way to do it was Twitter style in 140 characters or less. Speed Tweets will contain news, links to Twitter related posts and the odd Twitter tool.

Here’s our first edition of Speed Tweeting.

• RWW reports that Twitter has added a groups functionality to their Japanese partner service Twicco. Lets hope we see it on Twitter soon too.
• Pistachio Consulting have released a research report on microsharing applications for businesses.
