Today's news from Twitter starts with Twitter

News people are using Twitter to broadcast their stories, share updates and ask questions. When I cover high school sports for the Cox Newspapers in Springfield and Dayton, I tweet game updates that have gained my more followers. Twitter is now experimenting with a way to send news we are interested in our way. Right now we have to search for what we want and find good sources of information to follow. This could be good for everybody. From the story that is linked in the Twitter post below: For now, the account links only to global news. In time, though, it’s easy to imagine Twitter delivering more localized tweets. The company could personalize them based on what it knows about your interests and the people you follow. And what’s to stop Twitter at news? There are plenty of other events that Event Parrot could send your way: concerts, festivals, sporting events.
