David at the Tribune here. (I think "One of my local newspapers" = me. Am I right?) When I set up the Twitter account for the Tribune I searched for people in Columbia, Mo., and followed them. You are correct that I did so to alert them to our feed, but once I did so I realized it could also turn out to be a source of information for us down the line. So, that explains that. Here's a question I'm grappling with. I'm only twittering our lead story and sometimes our most popular story. I find other news Twitter feeds to be too overwhelming. I don't want Twitter to be a copy of the RSS feed. I think, for now, that just Twittering the lead story is the right way to go. I wonder if I made the right choice about that. Hey Jen!
