Sorry, how you state it, it is just plainly wrong. I am not manipulating my image at all. I am not posting images of my self, but general natural photography. Animals, flowers, landscapes. I am not selling anything. I also have not claimed that Twitter would be "the news". But it is a great source of specific information. To repeat the example I had put into my previous post: when a disaster strikes a certain place, the best chance to find immediate information like pictures/videos taken is people affected tweeting. This is raw material, just some data. This is of course to be complemented by the news media, though these often enough are limited to the same sources, but they might do some aggregating and processing. Often enough news events never make it to the news, because they are only of local interest. Also Twitter is often the outlet of official organizations. Like the police of a large city informing the inhabitants about events they should be informed upon.
