Defesa eloqüente do Twitter
+ de 1000 Acessos
Trechos de um post do grande Michael Arrington, intitulado "I Can't Believe Some People Are Still Saying Twitter Isn't A News Source" (não vou traduzir, aprendam a ler em inglês), sobre a importância do Twitter:
* Twitter is emerging as a major force in breaking news;
* Today we saw yet another illustration, when people in Mumbai got the word of terrorist attacks out to the world well before mainstream media even knew something was happening;
* Twitter[...] it's the first place I go to get an idea of what's going on. Years ago I would have turned to the cable news channels, now it's Twitter;
* The facts seem to be irrefutable. But some people disagree... The reason? The facts [in Twitter] are often wrong;
* This is the same argument that mainstream journalists used against blogs[...] Yet even the NY Times admitted[...] that blogs were an important news source when disaster struck: "For vivid reporting from the enormous zone of tsunami disaster, it was hard to beat the blogs";
* But blogs are nothing compared to Twitter, which lets anyone with a cell phone instantly update the world with what they see and hear, via the simple and ubiquitous text message;
* You can jump up and down and shout all you want that Twitter isn't a real news source. But all you are doing is viewing the world through a reality lens that's way outdated...
