I do agree with what you say, Robin (re:Twitter). But, for me, it is only a question of time. Content shared by people I (conscientiously) follow on Twitter has a real value for me. These recommendations help me navigate the immense content wave…
The point is now : how can I browse “rapidly” all this content to pickup what is really interesting me.
And solutions are coming now, to solve this. Look @ http://www.paper.li, using semantic analysis, and quite complex algorithm to present your timeline as a newspaper and to enable you a quick scan of content shared.
Give it a try : http://paper.li

Biggman: I believe it doesn’t really matter whether someone looks at their Twitter feed via mobile, desktop, TweetDeck Hootsuite, etc. It is the links via Twitter back to media sites that they are counting.

If I read my Twitter feed (what my friends post Niel Robertson) on my phone, and hit a link back to my local paper, that counts just like when I hit those same links from Twitter on my desktop.

I’m a bit unclear about what “going to Facebook” for news means versus “going to Twitter”. If what the article means is how many people read a twitter user’s stream like @nytimes then i agree. If they mean how many people use bit.ly links from their social circle’s streams to find out about news then i vastly disagree. Just look at SXSW. I didn’t use one traditional media source (Google, NYTimes, etc..) to find out what was going on at SXSW. It was all my friends posting bit.ly links to relevant panels, live videos, follow ups, etc.. Facebook sees some of the same phenomenon but not anywhere as dense when it comes to business (in my circle).

I think these distinction are important. I’m not shilling for Twitter or Dissing FB – just trying to disambiguify what this article is really saying. No doubt i use FB more than Twitter but my social circles are vastly different on each.

How can you get your news from Facebook? You can only read what your friends post, and they can’t possibly have all the info you find on Google News!

Does this study take into account API access to Twitter? Most people I know never go to Twitter.com and only interact with twitter via 3rd party apps.
