DISQUS

Nice Post Julie. I agree with you about the problem of a ton of headlines in an RSS feed. But I think the simple thing is just "unfollowing" - I've unfollowed nearly every news organization I started following. However, I am still a proponent of automatic updates. The trick is to balance it with what people actually want. At our news org, we manage more than 10 twitter accounts that are more niche so they have fewer posts during a day, but they still are dominated by an RSS feed. I think as long as your news org doesn't post EVERYTHING to twitter, like NYT and others, then it's fine. You also can set up your own twitter feed to get the news that interests you.

“(well, isn't that a coincidence? we have a HUGE problem coming to terms with the mounting Mexican influence in the U.S.!!!)”

Ok when you say “we” have a problem coming to terms with Mexican influence in America, please don’t take it upon yourself to represent an entire nation. Without the help of the Mexican influence in America there would be a very large hole in American economy and marketing. These immagrants are very influential towards many programs to help fund social security and welfare programs. Your claims are very interesting yet very prejudicial at heart.
