Twitter centric twitters.  Someone who studies tweets and reports their
results in the same form.

At the recommendation of a New York Times blogger,
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/adding-controlled-serendipity-to-the-web,
I have begun following @atul and @brainpicker on twitter, thus placing
another nail in the coffin of traditional journalism.

So twitter is essentially the lead sentence of the lead paragraph of a news
article, or, rather, the population of all the lead sentences in competition
for the attention of the twitterati.  So, logically, the next step in the
deconstruction of journalism would be a lead paragraph publication service,
collecting blips of, say, up to 700 characters.  Squawk.com would be good,
except it's owned by someone at spamgourmet.com which doesn't sound
appetizing at all.

Hmm, lede.com is parked on an ad-farm, who's got a budget?
