Tweet about a Story with buzzbox

The tweet button on buzzbox is pretty nice because with 1 click you get:

- the title of the story
- the source name
- the short url (using bzbx.us - buzzbox's shortening service)
- the most important topics (this is kind of unique, as far as I know)

Everything is formatted so it will fit in a tweet. For example:


Google Enhances Local Search With "Nearby" Filter [techcrunch] http://bzbx.us/S32 #Filter #Google


We could also include the buzzrank or other sources writing about the same story... we are experimenting about that.
What do you think? Do you find it useful?

Best Daily Video from Youtube

I like the way I was able to use BuzzBox to use the data provided by Fast Forward to show the feed of the best videos from youtube, constantly updated. A great channel to check out when you are bored and want to have some fun watching videos.
