Get links pulled from Twitter favorites into Instapaper

@glasner and I shipped a product today, http://www.tweetgrabber.com, that allows anyone with an Instapaper account to receive full-length articles that were favorited by anyone with a public Twitter account. You can now essentially crowdsource your Instapaper reading to those you trust by following their favorites. We use Twitter's streaming API to send articles straight to your Instapaper. You can follow your own favorites (single player mode) or follow anyone else's (multiplayer mode), forming a graph of curated real-time news.
