The links to the source tweets are broken. There should be a forward slash just before the word status.

...shouldn’t your staff be…working? Also, if people are interested in this…can’t they get it on Twitter?

@Kev: Thanks, fixed.
@Kevin: An occasional Tweet doesn’t prevent people from working. And this is an edited look at a few select posts as opposed to making people scour hundreds of individual tweets. So that’s why we present it here.

Personally, I appreciate this – I am not on Twitter and don’t want to be. I find this particular post useful to get some of the material the 37s team is no longer posting here that they might have before Twitter came along.
Thanks for posting this…

Ah, Smalltalk. I loved it. I think it’s brilliant. Its mistake was to look too different from C. Sigh.
Strangely enough, I also have fond memories of Scheme (LISP).
