What does that even mean?

Every journalist worth their salt uses it, and it's essentially the public front for any media facing company. Sure, every day users may be contributing less, but it still seems to be a pretty meaningful megaphone for brands. I don't exactly see that changing: I don't contribute to Twitter, but I do consume the tweets of brands / companies / significant people that publish them.




To me thats the problem. Its a tool for lazy journalists. The majority of us don't give a shit about twitter storms or whatever else is trending.


What good is a megaphone if there's no one listening?

Twitter is dying despite every MSM site being like 'Look we're on twitter' start giving a shit about it even though no one even watches TV anymore.
