Here are some links to stories about Twitter that may help you control and safely and wisely use this new newsgathering tool.
The first is a hilarious cautionary tale about why it has proven a bad idea to Twitter the funeral of a three-year-old as a news story (and other pitfalls the Rocky Mountain News has encountered using the tool.)
This describes Amy's philosophy on growing a high quality Twitter posse.
The next two are mostly aimed at those of you who think you might like a long term relationship with Twitter, if only you learn to control it before it controls you. Naturally, there has evolved a practice of Twitter spam. This is how to control the spam should it stalk you.
And this one is for those of you who really get into it and want to separate tweets from your Tweeps from tweets from news organizations.
Now, honestly, I have other work to do (Good luck, Tweeps.)
