Using twitter for journalism purpose.

Jack Dorsey may be a creative guy however, Has he ever thought of the greatness twitter has gotten ?
The answer is it has already modified the way we surf on internet, looking for people has never been so easy as it is now, finding information too.
The ways of using it for journalism purpose is incredible and put in danger those old habits which seemed to be the most perfect and well-proven.
It was just yesterday night when a breaking news commentary was made by a Tv hoster of a sport program but in fact about another Tv Program called Big Brother (I think you've already heard it) It was about a guy who had left the program and was going to work in the same television company in a humor program called "Turma do DiDi" by TV Globo, its incredible how fast information can reach their recipients, when talking about real time messages journalism says breaking news time.
Its been amazing to contribute with this, and i hope everyone from you add me as a follower @k2alfameq, so we can keep sharing and becaming the pathers of this trail.
Cheers, see you in Brasil.

Relationship with Brasil

Thats nice to hear, now you've got more connections overhere.
I've invited friends to join twittamentary.
As a journalist or a as a twitter user distances were shortened, sources on my contact list an inch away, It means the relationship with different parts of the globe and its parts are simplified and enables anyone to receive all kinds of information needed.
I've been constantly using twitter to get to know other parts of the world information's and use it as data and possible ways to compare our devolpmente and growing.
As a third world country we are still behind and basically crawling on twitter, but we still to find marvellous ways of using it.

News at the Speed of Light

Great! I added your example to the story so it will be more complete.  A side note: I was interviewed by Globo TV during the Beijing Olympics because of the documentary I made about the lead up to the Olympic Games.  That is my connection to Brazil.
