I think that the benefits - used wisely - can outweigh the negative aspects. Thanks for the post :) I think it’s important to note that Twitter can also be the best source of misinformation in the world – there are positive and pejorative effects of Twitter (and other social networking sites) (see http://yesyesnomaybe.blat.co.z.....etworking/ ) these sites are easy to negotiate and manage when you’re educated – sometimes we forget that not everyone has access to knowledge, sometimes just to the technology … but on the whole I’m pretty much for a merger of public and private journalism (which I think Twitter facilitates) … I think that the benefits – used wisely – can outweigh the negative aspects.

Twitter is certainly becoming more of a news hub. In essence, the title of this post caught my attention because a team member of mine wrote an article recently entitled: "Are bloggers influencers, journalists, or both" http://bit.ly/RatO2 and I guess with use of social media channels such as Twitter, all active bloggers can become journalists along with tweeps and other social media users. Good job! Great article and argument points. Twitter is certainly becoming more of a news hub.
