Recurring Tweets Issue http://bit.ly/NboUC

#3drunkwords Nothing Offisher, really

Associated Press and Reuters should have spinnable news story text, so that each news outlet gets a unique version of the story.

I’d love to read three different news sites and get three different perspectives on the same news story.

@ElizabethBraid Nah, I live in Canada and cbcnews.ca is just as bad with their syndication.

So here’s an idea for a news site to attract visitors and make money. Publish unique news articles, not syndicated duplicate content.

When you browse CNN, MSNBC, ABC, USA Today, etc, you realize there could as well be only one news site. They all say exactly the same.

It appears that Twitter DMs are like the Reader’s Digest. There’s no damn way to get rid of them. They keep coming back.

Really weird. I’ve purged my DM inbox a while ago. This evening suddenly some old DMs are showing again, resurrected by Twitter.
