I haven't been a twitter fan, but I thought this was an interesting insight.

Can someone explain twitter to me? I just don’t get it.

How is it different then sending a bulk email to all your friends and family?

How is it different than simply reading a “live” FR thread?

Thanks in advance.

Twitter is an non,moderated posting forum.Interesting but the best part for this is the links to the videos.http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23iranelection

it's a process that often repeats itself like clockwork over surprisingly long periods of time

Ham Radio during the WWII era comes to mind

Might be of interest.

Ping.

I’ve been commenting on other threads that this Iran crisis may give us some idea of what might replace the MSM if it dies.

Then where would we get our news, in order to dissect and discuss it as we do here in FR?

Maybe YouTube. Maybe Twitter. Maybe the internet in general, with individuals providing photos, videos, and eyewitness accounts, and some mechanism that will help sort it all out and bring the best stuff up to the top.

It’s too early to say. But if the MSM wants to commit suicide, then I think alternatives WILL appear to take its place.

I am a twitter fan. I like tweetdeck as a more user friendly interface. I have followed breaking news, and it's pretty cool. But it tweets about every five seconds, so you need it in its own category.

Check it out if you are interested in breaking news.
