THE FUTURE ReporTwitters To Ravage Newspapers, Pillage Cable Nets
Some time today, ReporTwitters <http://reportwitters.com/>, the newest iteration of the future of journalism, should go live. The idea seems to be: A bunch of journalists will contribute to a centralized website via Twitter, which is a microblogging service—it funnels in text snippets sent via IM or SMS. You can try and understand more about it from the site's blog but good luck with that. No but seriously: I'm sure it's the long tail future of crowdsourcing optimized 2.0 tipping point gadget citizen's journalism experimental new hotness. And oh yes, there will be cat photos.
