Twitter, while seemingly infantile and useless, has proven to be one of the best sources of live primary source coverage of breaking news stories. If you know how to use it, it can be a powerful tool for both journalists and their audiences.
Although there’s plenty to mock, Twitter is not a fad. It’s going to be used more and more by people who want to break a story instantly.
At the same time, it puts a lot of onus on the audience to sift through the bullshit to find the real facts. But that’s not too different from CNN or the Denver daily paper.
1) Twitter can be a great way to quickly spread information.
2) A person does have to sift through the BS to find the real facts.
Unfortunately, people with nothing to say use Twitter and for reasons I cannot explain other people retweet the nothingness. I am easily frustrated by those actions. I am also easily annoyed by comments that are meaningless without clicking on the link. Give me something to go on so I know whether I should click the link that takes me to more info.
(I never expect anyone to respond to one of my random comments, which means I never think to check to see if someone responded to one of my random comments. It’s not polite. I’ll try to either stop making random comments or be better about checking back.)
