News via Twitter

If you're not yet using Twitter, I highly recommend giving it a try. My page is probably primarily of interest to those who know me well, but I really enjoy sharing quirky observations I'd otherwise probably keep to myself.

However, mainstream media outlets all seem to be rushing to adopt this new medium. CNN, the BBC, and the New York Times are just a few examples. I can more easily think of good ways to integrate this technology effectively into the metro, sports, and arts sections than op-ed. Can anyone think of a good opinions-related use for Twitter other than simply sending out titles of and links to opinions pieces and columns?
