Surfing Twitter and the Huffington Post


I have been constantly on Twitter following the updates of many news organizations around the world (and the country).

I have been finding a lot of relevant and interesting information via Twitter. Who knew that Twitter would become so popular just by informing the world about news-related events?

Of the news organizations that I follow, the Huffington Post is probably the most up-do-date blog when it comes to news. It’s also one of my favorite sources of information. Biased? Maybe.

I saw a Tweet from Huffington Post Saturday that stated GM had recalled almost 41,000 cars due to a “defect” from manufacturing.

Apparently, the vehicles were manufactured from 2007 - 2009 with plastic parts connected to the fuel pump which could crack. According to the article, if the crack gets long enough, fuel could ultimately leak out of the vehicle and be a potential hazard for a fire.

I think that Twitter is honestly the most reliable source for information, because you can read headlines in under 160 characters or less, which takes about a fraction of a second. Theoretically, you could navigate major headlines of newspaper in under a minute. 

Navigating the news in this way is very important because it is the quickest and easiest alternative from going to random websites and scrolling all over a cluttered page filled with gargantuan amounts of information.
