Twitter and your local news

Is it just me or is everyones local newscasts jumping on the twitter bandwagon lately?

All 3 of our local TV stations now have some sort of twitter mention in their daily newscasts and on their websites.

Twitter is nice I supose. The closest I get to it is my updates on facebook I guess. But to have people report news via twitter? Or to publish tweets from the nightly news anchor telling me their having a salad in the break room?

Social networking is not news!

*steps off soapbox*

Actually, local law enforcement agencies are the current tweeting rage...

Sad. They should focus on wtf is going on. Not tweeting for computer dorks.

It really is getting a bit out of control. I only understand it for some people, but the majority of us just don't lead exciting enough lives to be doing this crap.

I signed up, but only because the twitters I'm following (all music related, of course) were getting too hard to follow otherwise. I don't plan on ever actually tweeting.

Good god, I love that man.

So, I like I said, I signed up for Twitter like 3 days ago... and I already have 2 followers. :freak:

One's Monkey, no idea how he found me so fast. :lol:

But the other... actually there were two others, but one must've gotten rid of me already... Twitter burn? But anyway, the others, I have no idea who they are or why they feel the need to follow me. I'm guessing Twitter is a lot like MySpace? "Let's look popular and follow as many people as possible?" Even though it just makes you a complete lameoid loser moron?

Oh how true that silly little cartoon was.

What IS with all the exhibitionism all of a sudden?

I dunno, it starts with boobs, then full nudity, and suddenly everyone needs to know the inner workings of everyone else's minds and we're all cannibals! AAHH THE APOCOLYPSE IS COMING!
