"You can track people's favourites as an RSS feed, which is a hack but as these thoughts tend to be less 'realtime' and more 'bookmark'y, reading people's favourites (say) once a week would be a valid way of keeping abreast of things. Here are mine, for example - http://twitter.com/favorit.... There's no button for it, but open a tweet stream in Firefox and click the RSS logo in the address bar to get access. Also take a look at Favstar if you haven't yet - a bit like Tweetmeme for favourites. It also shows you people that favourite your tweets, so useful for network analysis. Thx for posting"

Reason I ask is that lists grow and change over time - so this would be a great way of scooping up a bunch of people to read but wouldn't represent the changing content of a list."
