It’s the beginning of November, so it’s time to share the best language and translation
tweets published last month! As usual, topsy.com
was my source of information about how often different messages were retweeted
and mentioned. And I am very happy to share the results with you! Check out the
list as there are quite a few insightful, useful and even funny new links
there.
