Unfortunately, the traditional media HAS to embrace this new media, or get out of the way, there is no stopping of Twitter juggernaut anytime soon.

Yes, today's front pager is an improvement. But there are no links, and the story is built around a certain amount of personal (if professional) conjecture. Would have been nice to see the reporter link to some statistics, or at least give the opportunity for other medical professionals to contact relevant authorities and offer assistance. On the other hand, today's story on the Jack Russell Terrier and its reader comments are so pathetic as "professional journalism" they make my eyes burn. http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_14238364 Thanks Fish.
