Mega-thanks to BusinessPundit for naming Twellow one of 10 essential Twitter tools for business. We’re mighty proud of our creation and encourage our readers to give Twellow a go.

You can find Twitter users in any city, doing any profession, talking about just about any topic. You can search profiles or categories, or even see who’s tweeting in your “twellowhood.”

A kind of yellow pages for Twtter, we agree Twellow is an indispensable tool for business-minded people looking to expand their networks.

Nice grab by Vallegwag illustrating how our sensitivity training—and our automatic sensitivity filters—can make for some amusing untended bleeping. In this case, Digg.com’s automatic naughty word filter thought homo erectus sounded as dirty as it, well, really sounds.

If you didn’t pay much attention in science class, homo is the same unfortunately humorous prefix as the one in homo sapien, which refers to you and me—hey! Don’t swing at me, brudda. Blame the Greeks. Homo erectus is considered the earliest the human species.

Even funnier is that when Digg edited out the word homo in this instance, it made the headline dirtier and funnier than before:
