Twitter in the news: is this all PR?
kyro: For those who have said that Twitter is far from mainstream, let me tell you, you're wrong.Almost every major radio station here in southern California, ie KISS FM and POWER 106, encourage their users to follow them on Twitter. The other day, I was watching the Martha Stewart show, don't ask why, and she mentioned her Twitter account, asked how many had an account, and encouraged all who did and didn't to follow her. This morning I'm watching the Today show, and one of the anchors mentions Twitter and how it's blowing up. This, on top of the fact that many big time celebrities are using the service, has definitely convinced me that Twitter is here to stay, at the very least, as a wildly successful media tool.
