Interestingly...not a bad source, except for Middle Eastern/Islamic stuff.
Given the thread has turned to news sources, I find foreign sources are more factual about US happenings because I suppose they have less in the game than US news sources...ergo more facts and less spin. They also still tend to have more of a wall between reporting and editorial than US news.
Actually, I really have gotten into Twitter this past year. I wouldn't recommend it for pure news, but there are some really, really good and insightful posters (I tend to finance and foreign affairs...so can't speak to quality outside those two topics.)
You will really hate it if you can't stand the occasional poster demolishing something you thought or thought you knew.
However, it takes a while to figure out where posters are coming from and who is good/experts.
Downside...it is really easy to waste a lot of time if you aren't careful. Sorta like here. ;-)
I love Twitter for being able to find the latest about anything right now.
It really has become the media for many announcements for politics, sports, and other aspects of our lives.
If you want to get a good cross section of political views go to my Politics list --
