Drudge tweeted out of existence?
Well, well. This is cause for cautious optimism.
I'm not registered with twitter and I'm not a fan. It makes no sense to me. Plenty of people have pointed out that if twitter becomes the new cutting-edge source of information, it does not bode well for any of us. 140 characters of frequently spurious information?
However, I get that it is multi-sourced and certain sources will come to be seen as more reliable than others as time passes.
But here's the main thing: I never "got" Drudge, either. Forget the right-wing blather. Forget the traffic on his site. What I never got was that he was apparently the go-to guy for the corporate conglomerate journalist suits for years. Surely, I thought, they can't be that desperate and lazy.
I was, apparently, wrong.
So I'm probably wrong about twitter, too.
Either way, Drudge got a lot of mileage out of the Lewinsky thing, and he is apparently about to run out of gas. Not that I'm planning to register with Twitter or anything, but I never looked at Drudge either.
