The Rocky Mountain News already has suffered great blows to its reputation because of its inability to use Twitter properly. Pseudojournalists who continue to grab at fads such as page design -- long ago exposed as a fraud and of no value in any way, shape or form to credibility or circulation -- and Twitter are showing their ignorance. Stop the cheerleading and learn some objectivity. Someday soon, newspapers are going to be duped — badly — because of Twitter’s non-policing of false/duplicate identities.

The posts are inherently small - less reading - and you can catch up with all the varied information in one spot after a long day of waiting in gas and ice lines. -Houstonian Twitter’s a great way to cover a storm.

They used twitter extremely well to convey the damage and the impact of Ike. I'm hooked. They did a great job twittering as they entered Galveston on Saturday.
