Btw, Twitter definitely has the potential to rival and I think, dominate, AP and Reuters if they design the business that way. Just need a reliable way to decide trust worthiness of the tweet/source, and a way to put context around a tweet or a bunch of tweets so the headline can be derived from the tweets.
- alfalfasprout 10y agoLast night showed all the naysayers just how powerful Twitter is as a platform. Markets are waking up to it today. Twitter really needs to go ahead and embrace that it doesn't need to be facebook: it's key forte is being an easy to use ultra-fast realtime information distribution system.

Twitter doesn't have a massive audience but it appears to be extremely influential and many have started to acknowledge just how influential his tweets were on voters in this election (even if they were not Twitter users themselves).
