Rated • 1 review • genealogy, internet, journalism, blogs • blogspot.com
Very interesting story covered from the perspective of a GeneaBlogger.
As he writes:
"This information may have flown under the radar of most genealogy bloggers but it is important and could seriously impact the way some bloggers construct their posts. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed new guidelines which could make bloggers responsible for misleading claims when they review products."

Twitter.
It's all the rage!
Liberals do it, Conservatives do it, Birds, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, even Journalists, and Politicians do it!
This is a song about Twitter, Journalism, Rush Limbaugh, and even Bicycling.
Any similarity between any Journalist, TV Talking Head, Radio Host, or Politician for that matter, is purely...inten, um, I mean, Coincidental. ;-D

The Many Faces of Twitter | PureCognition

FROM THE ARTICLE:
"When I first read about Twitter I excused it as useless. I figured it was more "noise" contributing to the signal-to-noise ratio of the interactive web...enter human genius. ANY TIME you forget to take into account the effects of human creativity and genius, you will be wrong. And, I was wrong.
Twitter ended up becoming almost every type of application. It ended up with many faces...fueled by the human minds."

Why is the Twitter community so Left-wing? - Telegraph Blogs
Rated • 1 review • internet, culuture, politics, conservatism • telegraph.co.uk
Conservatives finding voice on Twitter, countering sites rampant Liberalism?
FROM THE ARTICLE:
All #TCOT's popularity really proves is that conservatives are better organised and better connected.
Let's face it, in the liberal Twitterverse, they need to be.
Is it that deeply unfashionable to be a Republican or a Tory? Are young people not prepared to take the risk of saying something that might come back to haunt them? Or is it just that conservatives are less fashion-conscious, and don't feel the need to constantly declare their political affilations? Why is the Twitter community so pervasively left-wing?
Activity on on Twitter is generally public, whereas activity on Facebook is generally private.
The social cost of saying something right-wing online can be enormous, and reputations can be shattered very easily on Twitter.
I know several young conservatives who censor themselves, creating an "acceptable" public persona so as not to be ridiculed or derided.
Surely Twitter is the perfect medium for free, stream-of-consciousness expression.
It's a terrible shame that young conservatives feel so oppressed."
Personally I think there is room for both Liberal, and Conservative views, on Twitter, and am not averse to following a Tweeper who is liberal.
Contrary to popular impression Tweeting is not all about politics, and issues.
