Christopher S. Penn's Awaken Your Superhero: Why Twitter Matters : It’s Your AP Newswire

  • Daryl Tay · 1 year ago
    Hey Christopher,

    Great point of view about Twitter. The adoption hasn't been huge here in Singapore, from the few that are on I HAVE indeed found out some selective news faster than it's on our news channel or websites.

    Eagerly awaiting the next MOC!

    Here's one for you, I found out about the Casino Fire from Twitter 15 minutes before the major networks picked it up. Twitter is powerful way to be on top of news.

    Twitter is 10x as effective as putting out a press release that's for sure. The best marketing tool so far for PodCamp Ohio is Twitter, it definitely helps those who want to come to the event follow what's happening, who registers, etc... Every time someone registers for the event who supplies their twitter name, we send a twitter message to @podcampohio's Twitter so other followers can follow that person. It's connecting the bloggers and podcasters before PodCamp Ohio even occurs! If you're building a brand or an event, Twitter will take it to the next level.

    @BreakingNewsOn is a good source of (mostly US based) breaking news on Twitter. I don't know how he/she/they manage to beat the other news sites so often, but they consistently get items out long before CNN, AP, etc.

    Awesome just what I was looking for. Do you do a twitter search to find different sources. Would the news stations' twitter be the ones to follow if I am looking for local news?

    I have also found that places like nowpublic and ireporter are good to find news before it's news.

    Are there any other that you know of?

    Nice to stumbleupon your blog. Thanks
