I think it is hella useful, particularly for building up hits on your blog and for passing on useful/important links.

I think many people are naive to what Twitter can actually do. As you’ve written, it was massively important as a tool to break through the censorship barrier put up by the Iranian government.

In answer to Channel 4’s question: No. It has proven that it can impact everyday lives in the news and coverage it can bring.

I try to keep my tweets fairly sensible, and of value to my followers. I think the value the site holds is superb and it really has become something of a game changer for media.

It was interesting how Channel 4 news described the outage tonight. “Can we survive without tweets?”
