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 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?

Are there any other that you know of?

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 <a href="http://www.podcampohio.com/" title="PodCamp Ohio">PodCamp Ohio</a> 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 @<a href="http://twitter.com/podcampohio" title="PodCamp Ohio Twitter">podcampohio</a>'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.

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! Daryl 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!
