Twitter has been the one I pay attention to most since the green revolution in Iran, that opened my eyes to Twitter as the new go-to news wire. You still need to apply journalistic skills to make sure you’re properly vetting the information you get via Twitter but certain people over time become trusted sources. I’ve used Tumblr as my main platform for blogging since 2007, before that it was WordPress. I’m increasing my use of Facebook because it’s simply the biggest audience out there, with close to one billion users, it cannot be ignored.
