twitter is no less reliable than any “official” news source. I approach it with the same skepticism network / print news and I think people would be better served approaching most things with a healthy skepticism.

the reason certain people in the news world try and skew the importance of services like twitter and other news blogs is that it is a direct threat to their business and one that nobody in their camps has been able to come up with an answer for.

best argument I heard against print news (on twitter ironically @garyvee) was: “print news is yesterdays news.” you cannot argue with that. if they want to deliver the paper by 3-5AM it has to be yesterdays news.

anyway, internet news, no matter the medium, is just as reliable/unreliable as the people that have been in business of “reporting” for 50 years. they’re just scared now and looking for ways to hinder their competition because they’re ship is sinking.

V and web media news can be “directed” and express certain point of views. In many cases TV media made mistake by providing false news. Through twitter and similar services you receive news by different sources (and I believe more sources than a reporter in the point of interest). Of cource someone can send “directed” news by twitter also. But there is large number of sources-users to compare and make your own opinion.

Twitter might not be a very reliable news source, but I was able to catch a couple of tweets from people in Mumbai, reporting almost minute by minute what was happening there. I also saw a request pop up constantly, of someone who wanted to know what happened to a wedding party from one of the hotels. This morning, another tweet sikiş videoları kept repeating “everyone from the party is fine”. And I rarely use Twitter. But was I witnessed yesterday, not in the CNN news or other news networks, but in Twitter and Flickr, was amazing.
