I came across this article from the Miami Herald :
As The Post put its bottom-line concerns, ”In general, we expect that the journalism our reporters produce will be published through The Washington Post, in print or digitally,” and not via blogs or tweets.
Good luck there. Can you have journalists texting messages independently on topical concerns with thousands of people using a medium that’s easily shared with millions more and still retain exclusivity? Not only has that horse left the barn, but the barn is burning down. Twitter will be embraced as no less indispensable to reporters than their phones, but it does carry risk — and not the loss of control that news bosses worry about but the illusion of connectedness…

According to this week’s cover story in Time magazine by Steven Johnson, Twitter is “changing the way we live.” Originally, people scoffed at the 140-character updates that limited people to just a few short sentences. But, according to Johnson in the Time article, “hearing about what your friends had for breakfast is actually more interesting than it sounds.” Instead of one “tweet,” we end up with an endless stream of small messages that can add up to a media event. For instance, Britain’s oddball talent show sensation Susan Boyle gained Internet acclaim largely through Twitter chatter, with links to her YouTube site, where views reached record numbers. As it turns out, with millions of people using Twitter, the way it is being used is changing constantly, and it’s the users themselves who have been redesigning the site. For example, the grouping of a topic or event called a “hashtag” (#inauguration, for example), the use of the @ symbol for replying to one another, and the ability to search a live stream of “tweets” were all developed by users, not Twitter itself. Thanks to these innovations, following political debates or discussions about our favorite TV shows have become commonplace. “It’s like inventing a toaster oven and then looking around a year later and seeing that your customers have turned it into a microwave,” wrote Johnson. Twitter is still evolving, and whether it continues to grow at the current astounding rate is not what’s important. The fact that such a simple idea can create such a powerful form of communication shows us that anything’s possible. In this economic climate, when banks and car companies are going bankrupt, an idea as simple as Twitter is an example of thinking small and making it big. The founders of Twitter reportedly turned down a $500 million offer from Facebook to purchase the site and they may be waiting for a more lucrative offer. Who knows, it might be worth a lot more. I’m just trying to figure out how to get all my ideas into 140 characters or less.
Sometimes it’s really that simple, isn’t it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.
A Great blog post, I will be sure to save this in my Clipmarks account. Have a awesome day.
