Twitter seems to be only the beginning of the changes that will eventually take place in the media/news world. It seems every year there is a new fad social media outlet, Myspace/Facebook/Linkedin and now Twitter. It only seems natural that consumers are looking for new methods in which to take in information, Twitter is a great example of that with #iranelection. Anyway, great post!

I think it's about time that journalism had a shake-up. Maybe they'll start to do more reporting and stop ignoring news that's happening across the world and here in the states. I remember when Twitter first appeared in 2007 and I didn't understand the frenzy over it, but I've come to realize its relevance. I'm glad that its recently attained the status it currently enjoys because it's a very useful service for journalism and entrepreneurs.

Twitter is bringing something new although only those with fully operational crystal balls can predict what the 'new' will eventually be. Great article. Please keep them coming!
