The question isn’t just how [to tweet], but why? Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc., [together] bring people to our electronic sites. How many hundreds of thousands of “followers” “friends,” etc. would we need to cultivate before these sites became profitable? I’m not sure we can count that high. Are there newspaper Websites that make money? How do they do it? Unless we know that, facilitating the move away from paper seems to me to be no closer to a solution than shrinking staffs and newspaper widths.
