Online Media- Twitter

While I do find Twitter to be a source of networking and and information, I do not really see it as a journalistic website.  It is basically just personal accounts, or opinions that anyone can do.  However, there is some new that is updated by reporters or journalists, or even just everyday people that are experiencing an event.  This information is not verified though, and for all we know could be false.  I do believe that Twitter has the potential to blow up into a big source, but for now it is still second to website like facebook, myspace, and wikipedia.  So no I don't believe that it is a valid source of journalism, but who knows what the future might hold.
