Lately I've been noticing that I get almost all of my news updates from Twitter. All of the major news stories lately I've found out first on Twitter. When Steve Jobs died, I knew because of Twitter, when the earthquakes happened, I found out everything from Twitter. I even find out local news from Twitter because I follow local news stations on it. I know Twitter is my main news source, I still watch my local news at night but only for a little bit because I know most everything that they're going to talk about anyways. I'll only watch the mainstream news stations like Fox when I've seen a post on Twitter and I want to see actual video of it. Twitter is the fastest way for me to get my news because I always have my phone with me and my phone has Twitter on it. I know there's a lot of people who don't use Twitter but for the ones that do it seems as if most find out the latest new stories from it. It use to be the newspaper that was the main way to find out news stories, then radio, followed by televisions and then it was the regular internet, now I see things progressing to not only Twitter but other social media websites as being the way to get the news first. What about you? Do you use Twitter and is it your main source for finding out the latest news stories first?
