I'm at CUNY's j-school which is a big social media advocate but, I have a hard time getting into Twitter. It excludes 99.99% of the world's conversation, which you allude to on CJR, and there are other avenues for connectivity. I signed up for a Twitter account but it's not something I'd check daily or use unless I had a very specific request. I do appreciate Twitter's benefits (i.e. Mumbai, 1st-hand accounts) but the idea of journalists joining Twitter en masse to 'CB radio' each other, techies and other college grads doesn't seem helpful if I'm trying to write original stories about, you know, the world.

I'm in agreement that it pays for journalists, freelancers, and business owners to take full advantage of social media. Journalism and writing is all about communication, and social media tools simply expand the possibilities and effectiveness of that communication.

The first thing to do is to exploit the heck out of them! I have a vision of teams of journalists, all out in the field finding stories, but also acting as a near real time information processing "hive." With a little help from ranking tools, headlines and info could be refined, the best floats to the top, and pops out of the team's feed. After all, only the human journalists can really put the human angle on information and make it a real story.
