8 Tools to Help Filter Your Twitter Stream & Find News

If you're like me, you first hear about a lot of news and information through your Twitter stream. It's is an excellent way to tap into what the buzz is about at the moment. But if you follow more than 500 people who post frequently, it can be difficult to filter the stream and see what your most trusted sources have shared -- especially if you've been away for awhile.

Several desktop apps and Web sites, like TweetDeck and HootSuite, will help you manage your Twitter account. But there also are several services that will filter your stream and the collective content on Twitter so you can get the most important (or at least the most popular) news and information shared by users.

Here are eight sites that can help you filter the signal from the noise.
