It certainly isn't a good time for anyone, and like I said, I can understand why the AP would consider this reliable, especially given the time pressures I'm sure their reporters are under. It would have helped if they'd at least tried to contact someone from Twitter though and included their response in an update or a correction; we shouldn't have had to wait a day for the Twitter guys to blog about it to find out the real facts.Andrew Bucholtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156615450275929751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33290030.post-9938824508676522292009-06-09T18:25:50.088-07:002009-06-09T18:25:50.088-07:00Although I'm also looking from the outside, I ...Although I'm also looking from the outside, I do know that the cuts industry-wide in journalism are affecting the AP as well.
