Microblogging site Twitter has launched a new site showcasing some of the site's best tweets.

Twitter Stories tells heartwarming tales ranging from the single tweet that helped save a local bookstore from going out of business, to the athlete who took a hundred of his followers out to a crab dinner.

The site includes the story of kidney patient Chris Strouth who tweeted: 'Sh*t I need a kidney' and received 19 offers. One of the volunteers was an old friend who was found to be a match and later donated his kidney.

Budding entrepreneurs can also hear about the Japanese fishermen who use Twitter to sell their catch before returning to shore.

Each tweet is accompanied by a picture or video and includes contextual information.

Up-to-date tweets can be seen via @TwitterStories, and people can tweet their own stories via the #twitterstories hashtag.
