Do you use Twitter? Now you can use it to suggest links! All you need to do is follow BBSuggest and start tweeting @ it.

For example, if you're an amateur astronomer and spot a report concerning Earth's impending destruction at the hands of a planet-destroying robot the size of the moon, tweet "Unicorn chaser! [link here] @bbsuggest" — easy! Your contributions will head into our bloggin' brains — and then into the collective superconscioussness of the Boing Boing trend tracker, an info-dense visualization of the topics and trends hit up by BB readers.

Many thanks to Palm, which is sponsoring the tracker, as you'll doubtless notice when you visit it.
