However, as you allude to, you’re in the spot where you’re already checking many of the same sources on Twitter, whereas one of the points of these posts for a lot of readers is so they don’t have to do that. I’d definitely do it radically differently if I thought most readers of mine were going to be checking Twitter a lot anyway.
On the other hand, though, people who aren’t on twitter much probably feel much more lost/confused about the people involved here, and why they should care about their opinions.
FWIW I appreciate Zvi’s reporting on What Twitter Is Saying because I don’t want to look at twitter myself. Possibly I’m making the wrong choice here & would be curious to hear counterarguments, but that’s the choice I’ve made.
