After the success of last week’s Re-Tweet project where I asked my Twitter followers to submit posts around a theme I thought I’d give it another go this week.
This week I asked followers to submit their best post title (and URL) from the last month on their blogs.
My hope in this (like last week) was to give the rest of us a little inspiration in the writing of our own posts – particularly the titles. You see the title of a post is such an important thing – it can mean the difference between your post being read or not.
So here are the 116 submissions (where people submitted more than one I’ve only included the first) that I received from my Twitter followers. Surf them – link up to those you connect with and if you’re on Twitter follow as many of this great bunch of bloggers as you can!

Woo Hoo i made it, thanks Darren!
And thus another day of procrastination courtesy Darren Rowse.
Thanks again for the re-tweet Darren… even more to read through this time – great to see.
Thanks for the link mate.
*chuckle* .. 116 .. that’s quite a bit of effort in sorting through all those.
Thanks for the retweet, Darren. It will take a while to sift through all those.
I waited and watched for the request for submissions and never saw it. Kind of bummed about it.
Thanks a lot for the linkback Darren. I very much appreciate it:P
Thanks! Those titles are inspiring. A few of the titles I even recognize from my RSS reader.
Thankyou for this. I love how my #6 and the following #7 seem almost connected; slugs and salt.
Better put aside some time to start reading through.
I will take a look at these. Hopefully one of my humble posts will eventually contribute to the quality content of your blog!
Hi Darren,

These are really interesting and exciting projects you are running.
