So Google news is great. I love Google and the news feature is one of the best sources for news out there, but I've started having an affair with Twitter. Google isn't the best for local news stories and I mean super local, like specific to my neighborhood. Twitter however is perfect for that. I was surprised that there are so many people out there tweetin' about local happens. Here are a few examples:
CDScanner
B-Town Blog
West Seattle Blog
I've also found it handy to follow politicians and political organizations:
George Stephanopoulos
Al Gore
NPR Politics
And then there is some stuff just for fun:
Pitchfork Media
Sounder News
BigBuckHunter
I guess what I'm saying is that Twitter isn't just for extreme voyeurs. There is a very practical use for this service (even though most of my tweets are just gibberish). If it sounds like something that you'd be interest in you can check out all the sources I follow by linking to my page.
