THE FUTURE ReporTwitters To Ravage Newspapers, Pillage Cable Nets
Some time today, ReporTwitters http://reportwitters.com/, the
newest iteration of the future of journalism, should go live. The
idea seems to be: A bunch of journalists will contribute to a
centralized website via Twitter, which is a microblogging service—it
funnels in text snippets sent via IM or SMS. You can try and
understand more about it from the site’s blog but good luck with
that. No but seriously: I’m sure it’s the long tail future of
crowdsourcing optimized 2.0 tipping point gadget citizen’s journalism
experimental new hotness. And oh yes, there will be cat photos.
