Twitter funnies

I have been slow to pick up on The Twitter (he says ironically). What is the point of following hundreds of feeds? There's sooo much inanity in most, how does one find individual tweets worth reading? They're like needles in a haystack.

Furthermore I prefer the format of long form blogs (insert 140 character joke). My google reader is beyond overloaded already--there really isn't time in a day for much more.

But I've made a Twitter list of several feeds I think are amusing enough to follow in toto.
