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.
