		<description><![CDATA[Russ mentioned nearly a month ago about how he dislikes Twitter. The cost/benefit of Twitter has been an ongoing discussion since school began last August, and I can totally see his point. It can be a rumor-mill. It can be false. It can break up relationships. But Twitter wasn&#8217;t created to be the be-all end-all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=americanobserved.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6440618&amp;post=354&amp;subd=americanobserved&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Well, the school has a new Web site, and so does the SOC. The content isn&#8217;t dramtically different, although it looks a littl more modern.

		<description><![CDATA[My goal with this blog was to talk about the Observer, not my personal pet peeves or uninformed opinions about journalism, but I&#8217;m going to venture into Twitter territory today. I&#8217;m generally fairly skeptical of its application as a news tool &#8211; great for (self-)promoting, and okay for news-gathering. My blog-mate Anna will heartily disagree.
