The good folks at SiliconANGLE have let me contribute a post.  It’s called Why MG Siegler is both wrong and right about Twitter, the real-time Web and Walter Cronkite.  It’s a response, of sorts, to MG’s Techcrunch article called  In The Age of Realtime, Twitter is Walter Cronkite.

There’s no doubt that the real-time Web, as represented by Twitter, is becoming an important news destination.  However, in my opinion, Twitter doesn’t have a single face, voice, or anchor to represent the news.  I’m not sure it ever will.  Why not read the post and weigh in on this question over at SiliconANGLE?

EDIT: here’s another take on MG’s article, from CrunchGear:  Real time, real discussion, real reporting: choose two.
