Gregory Galant (@gregory) and Adam Varga (@varga) of Sawhorse Media tell us about their new site, MuckRack.com, that aggregates Twitter (the popular microblogging site) streams from journalists.

Find out why they built the site, how they are limiting the feeds and given context, a possible new feature, and their message to Oprah.
