AP Twitter account hacked
As evidence of the dangers of how fast social media moves these days...
THIS IS NOT REAL. THIS IS NOT REAL. THIS IS NOT REAL. HAVE I MADE THE POINT THAT THIS ISN'T REAL YET? |

To me, there's a spectrum of sources these days that range from "very fast" on one end to "very reliable" on the other. Twitter's far to the "very fast" side, but can be very unreliable. So, as long as you're OK with taking everything with a bit of a grain of salt, it's great.

Accuracy matters more than speed in news, even if our ADD society argues otherwise.

Which necessitates...waiting and additional confirmation. Twitter exists as an echo chamber; retweets aren't confirmation, they're parroting, and there's a crucial difference between the two.

There's no need for a public shaming for that. Its self evident.
