I think the twitter article concerning the interview with Mr. Anderson was actually pretty interesting. I really did enjoy reading it because it was easy for me to understand, at least for the most part. I actually think it is kind of crazy how Mr. Anderson does not read the newspaper or watch the news and relies on the news coming to him via other people, the web, and twitter. It is understandable though that those are easier sources to deal with but first off, personally I would not trust twitter with information because anyone can post anything. Second, I prefer watching the news because I can rely on the information being mostly correct due to the pictures and videos that are usually viewed on the television. Same with reading the newspaper. I have to see it to believe, coming from a trust able source of course too. My learning styles also have to do with visual. If I just listen to the radio for information it will not stick in my memory as much as it would have if I watched the news. I also told myself I would never ever get twitter because I have always thought it was stupid, in my opinion that is. But everyone has their own personal way of retrieving news and information. It is really whatever works for you whether it is by reading the paper, reading the web, twitter, or watching the news.

Pictures and video do lend a certain legitimacy to a news story, no doubt.
