It only stands to reason. How can CNN or BBC compete with the larger geographically relevant and niche subject relevant workforce at Twitter. <br><br>Twitter has more quality BUT only on some occasions. CNN and BBC currently have on average more quality simply because they are professional news journos and have more space to write, albeit a Tweet can link to a blog etc.<br>\u2026.and here's my main point ... as soon as you have a BRAND at play that has to maintain it's reputation it is better not to report than to report quickly and incorrectly. Some Twitterers care about quality and some don't, so you will always have a mixed bag which is why on reflection CNN and BBC are easier places to find quality than Twitter. If you knew which Twitterers had the quality on the day, then Twitter would win. Quality generally takes a little more time. <br>As soon as Twitterers gain reputation they start building there own 'trust brand', they get better known and people seek them out, hence why you and i are on Robert Scobleizer's site right now.<br>My conclusion \u2013 Twitter generally wins on immediacy, CNN/BBC et al win on quality. BUT in the case of the Iranian election Twitter did win on both counts \u2018yesterday\u2019 against CNN. This simply because quality was there, you just needed to be able find it, so was immediacy. At CNN quality was not there at that moment because they had done nothing. Today CNN will win on quality.<br><br>PS. Twitter can win on quality but only if you know who to look at, and this is currently not always possible. Hence why Twitterers need a quality stamp somehow, then you would go to the top quality Twitterer in Iran and watch as the feeds came in. But on this basis CNN could do the same, if they had just one person in place at the time. <br>Twitter is increasingly everywhere, it will only be a matter of time before you go to the Twitterers with the highest quality stamp.

Did they send warnings or turn of sat lines? Did CNN not want to discuss these problems so as to keep their access long-term?

Access long-term  is much more worth it to an expensive news operation than proving to Robert Scoble that they can outtweet Twitter.)<br><br>3. Are they out of cash? These operations as I said are expensive. Very expensive! The media is reeling from the recession and firing staff all over. Did they just not have the cash?<br><br>4.

Is it cool that you know, in 140 characters or less, or with photos, what\'s going on there in real time? Yes, it is. Does it truly offer any context or bigger picture understanding? No way. Any responsible mainstream news outlet (and I\'m not saying CNN is or isn\'t) is going to put things together at least to some degree before they have something to give you, and probably do some degree of fact checking as well. That people with Twitter accounts say this or that doesn\'t make what they say facts.<br><br>Citizen journalism suffers from the same problem as Twitter in general: You need to sort through a lot of crap to find anything of value. That immediacy reminds me of listening to a police scanner when I was a kid, but the truth is that I never really understood what was going on until I got to read the newspaper the next day.<br><br>And before anyone jumps all over me, this isn\'t me defending old school media. I\'m trying to put into context the difference between immediacy and quality, which continues to be lost when it comes to the Internet.</div>\

Most people were just over-reacting (isn\'t that what people claim the MSM does all that time?) calling it a "revolution" when the reports from journalists (like at the BBC) were saying that there were protests in certain parts of town, but that things were quieting down.<br><br>This isn\'t to say there wasn\'t horrible things happening in Tehran, there most certainly was, but rather what I\'m trying to convey was that such a high percentage of the tweets overnight (US time) were of little to no value without independent verification.</div>\

Twitter may be a service that is not border-specific, but its users tend to be. If they\'re not seeking out news about Iran, then it doesn\'t matter. The right question is, "How many Twitter users were looking for news from Iran?"<br><br>Twitter didn\'t "beat" anyone. Twitter is not a news agency. Twitter was a conduit for a lot of raw information, of which a small percentage was actually useful, and I suspect an even smaller percentage was actually accurate. Comparing the Twitter noise to, say, the stuff al Jazeera posted, al Jazeera painted a much more measured and localized response to what was going on.<br><br>I don\'t understand your desire to be a cheerleader for Twitter, or your reluctance to separate the issues of change in the way we communicate, and quality in the way we communicate.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-10977329" class="dsq-comment-message">The reason Twitter beats CNN and BBC is with \'immediacy\' and \'quality\', but only sometimes. <br><br>Twitter has more immediacy no question. It only stands to reason. How can CNN or BBC compete with the larger geographically relevant and niche subject relevant workforce at Twitter. <br><br>Twitter has more quality BUT only on some occasions. CNN and BBC currently have on average more quality simply because they are professional news journos and have more space to write, albeit a Tweet can link to a blog etc.<br>….and here\'s my main point ... as soon as you have a BRAND at play that has to maintain it\'s reputation it is better not to report than to report quickly and incorrectly. Some Twitterers care about quality and some don\'t, so you will always have a mixed bag which is why on reflection CNN and BBC are easier places to find quality than Twitter. If you knew which Twitterers had the quality on the day, then Twitter would win. Quality generally takes a little more time. <br>As soon as Twitterers gain reputation they start building there own \'trust brand\', they get better known and people seek them out, hence why you and i are on Robert Scobleizer\'s site right now.<br>My conclusion – Twitter generally wins on immediacy, CNN/BBC et al win on quality. BUT in the case of the Iranian election Twitter did win on both counts ‘yesterday’ against CNN. This simply because quality was there, you just needed to be able find it, so was immediacy. At CNN quality was not there at that moment because they had done nothing. Today CNN will win on quality.<br><br>PS. Twitter can win on quality but only if you know who to look at, and this is currently not always possible. Hence why Twitterers need a quality stamp somehow, then you would go to the top quality Twitterer in Iran and watch as the feeds came in. But on this basis CNN could do the same, if they had just one person in place at the time. <br>Twitter is increasingly everywhere, it will only be a matter of time before you go to the Twitterers with the highest quality stamp. Then they can compete on quality as well and not just immediacy and ‘hunt the quality’.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-11074743" class="dsq-comment-message">There\'s a number of things to think about the WHY and back story of this that we must probe:<br><br>1. What did Christian Amanpour do? She is very hard left on quite a few issues, pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel. Did she decide to drift along with the regime on this one because she thought they\'d win, and didn\'t want to piss them off so she could keep access? Where was she? When a reporter clamours to the desk, "Send me, send me" they get into the picture. Where was she?<br><br>2. What did the Iranian regime do? Did they tie up anybody\'s arrival by denying a visa? Did they send warnings or turn of sat lines? Did CNN not want to discuss these problems so as to keep their access long-term? (That\'s how CNN and ABC had to play in Iraq, when they would cooperate with the Saddam regime to keep access. Access long-term  is much more worth it to an expensive news operation than proving to Robert Scoble that they can outtweet Twitter.)<br><br>3. Are they out of cash? These operations as I said are expensive. Very expensive! The media is reeling from the recession and firing staff all over. Did they just not have the cash?<br><br>4. Was there a more compelling story? hard to imagine, but it happens, where somebody jumps one way between two stories on an assignment desk and they prove wrong later.<br><br>At the end of the day, I think there\'s another phenomenon. All the news media that gradually went over to a 24/7 schedule got into a rhythm of trying to beat that schedule, and position at prime time in various world capitals.<br><br>But now, they have to bump up from 24/7 to 1440/24, 1440 minutes out of every 24 hours, which is a lot of news copy. The entire thing just accelerated again in terms of people\'s expectations.<br><br>It used to be you could follow a story over 3 weeks time as it floated from Europe to the U.S. -- the U.S. is a provincial backwater when it comes to picking up world news and always has been for hundreds of years.<br><br>Then it began to be a week, that you could see some world story finally make its way here. Now it\'s 24 hours. It\'s the normal lag that anyone sees on a foreign news story daily if they read and write news all day as I do. <br><br>All that happened is that the twittering public got a window into that lag. It didn\'t just appear yesterday.<br><br>Take two stories up right now -- Somali mosque blast, China and Russia pressure NK. All on european news now, BBC, etc. They are nowhere near the NYT yet, which is still on Iran mourning, which BBC already finished with and went on to the next thing.  We\'ll see these two stories either not at all or in a day or two\'s time on <a href="http://nytimes.com" rel="nofollow">nytimes.com</a> That\' show it always is, and if you read world news all day, you find that reading the NYT feels like Groundhog day, over and over again.<br><br>I hate to point out the obvious, but the fact that world capitals are 7 or 9 or 12 hours ahead of New York City and Los Angeles is one of the factors in the lag even in the 24/7 news room.</div>\

It\'s an ideological agenda on their part, really, and media is just the venue for them to push it. There is nothing wrong with lining ducks up in a row. See if you can filter out the hard news tweets from the thousands of noise tweets, look at it in the cold light of dawn, compare <a href="http://nytimes.com" rel="nofollow">nytimes.com</a> or <a href="http://cnn.com" rel="nofollow">cnn.com</a> and realize that you were on an LSD trip while on Twitter real-time and delusional much of the time.

They\'ve been taken over by giant corporate interests, and historically that has meant that foreign and domestic bureaus have closed, idiotic things are run in the off-hours, and generally making their lineup to pander to the advertising dollar. Sure. I long for the old days of Ted Turner, who actually cared about what he was doing, and risked his butt and his fortune often. <br>But Twitter is a mechanism. It has no management, and the only content it has is the crowd. A very interesting experience. Very useful when the police truncheons are coming out, people are being arrested, and they\'re trying to block the Internet. 140 characters can squeeze through. A CNN camera crew cannot. <br>You might talk about the pluses and minuses of the two mediums. But otherwise, this is a simple-minded equation, and the types don\'t match.</div>\
