With more and more journalists, especially the TV news correspondents are using Twitter to interact with their viewers real time. Don Lemon and Rick Sanchez are some of the CNN journalists who use Twitter, Face book and MySpace everyday. Twitter enable the journalists to interact with their viewers real time. One can interact with the journalists using Facebook and Myspace also, but Twitter is more convenient.
Another advantage with Twitter is that you need not have a Computer when you watch TV. You can respond to the journalists with the mobile phone as the Twitter works good with the mobile phones with any data plan. This helps the viewers to send in messages to the journalists real time from where it is breaking news and also sometime when the phone lines are not working.
The limitation for Twitter is that you have to express in 140 characters each time and it is mostly advantages as this makes people to be short and precise. Tyniurl.com can be used to shorten long web page links.. Oh yea, all of them are free in Twitter.
Also many online news organizations have built the API [Application Program Interface] for major networking websites like Twitter, Myspace, Facebook to post their entries when a new article is posted in their website. We in ChaaiChaai.com also have implemented such an API so that all new posts are automatically posted in Twitter.
