Twitter

After reading each of the articles, my idea of twitter hasn't really changed. I believe Twitter.com is just a website for socializing and keeping up with others. It is not a site for journalism. The reason it is not is because it's not reliable because anyone can post on the site. Just like the person who put there was an attack at the Marriot, which was false, anyone could put anything on that website. I think it is just another social site just like myspace, facebook, or blogs. Someone could of course put real events that occur on Twitter.com, but I wouldn't trust everything you read on that website. It could lead to breaking news and could be useful for reporters to see if they events posted are true. However, most of the posts are just personal one's to family and friends of the person posting and therefore are not newsworthy.
