Writing with Twitter as a source for stories

Do you tweet? If you’re not a Twitter user, you may be missing out on news in the areas you cover for magazines and Web sites.

BuzzMachine » Blog Archive » Twitter as the canary in the news coalmine reports:

“Developers at the BBC and Reuters have picked up on the potential for this. They are working on applications to monitor Twitter, the Twitter search engine Summize, and other social-media services – Flickr, YouTube, Facebook – for news catchwords like ‘earthquake’ and ‘evacuation’. “

Whatever topics you cover in your writing, consider using Twitter and other social networking sites as a source for material. It’s the new way to scoop other writers.

BTW, you can keep up with the articles and posts I make every day by following me on Twitter.
