Twitter to Kill Digg, Is it Good for Democracy?
http://www.enewslatest.com/2009/06/19/twitter-to-kill-digg-is-it-good-for-democracy/
Over the last year I have gone from a complete sceptic to a vocal advocate of the fast growing micro-blogging service, Twitter. The reason for this conversion is directly related to how I have seen the Twitter service evolve from a distracting playground for narcissism to a powerful and authentic source of crowd-sourced news. At times over the last year, Twitter has arguably rivaled the biggest news and information portal sites in the industry. Further, I would argue that Twitter could soon do what Digg had promised and failed to do years ago, to democratize the news industry.
