Twitter

A short-hand communication marvel which conveys reaction to news immediately. Still it has failed to attract enough advertisers. It shows financial losses. Twitter is not comparable to Google or Facebook. It is a source of news. Just as The Washington Times survives digitally on being purchased by Jeff Booz, Twitter should get such financial support to survive. Twitter has no intermediary between one who tweets and one who listens to these tweets. According to Randall Stross, if journalism is the first draft of history, Twitter is the first draft of journalism. Twitter should have algorithms to filter unacceptable trolls. It should keep the hate speech out. Advertisers are repelled by the trolls. Consumers are today impatient, they prefer news snacks, rather than a full meal. Twitter should be supported by someone who valves its brevity.
