Manages to highlight the potential risks of Twitter as a source of public health information without slipping into sensationalism.

This piece is interesting, but a confusing read with pro/con comments about Twitter and news media thrown in like, well, a flood of tweets.

It is interesting to see the impact media and technology can have on the spread of information, especially in this day and age with increased public access to information on the internet. I hope that readers see the responsibility to be credible that comes along with online blogging and posts.

The article is concise and well-written -- very clear. All of the sources had generally the same opinion: Twitter is being used pretty well, but there is a definite element of hysteria in the open conversation that spawned. The journalist could have sought out people with varying opinions.

The author makes sure to cover both sides of the story: some people are becoming misinformed about swine flu through Twitter, but Twitter is also getting people to talk openly about the situation.

It's interesting to see how new media and technology is being used in a worldwide epidemic, and this article looks at how Twitter has affected the attention of the swine flu epidemic. The reporter was able to look at how people are getting their information and whether Twitter is effective in this type of situation.

This is quite an important topic. The author does a good job of correlating the new trend in "news coverage" to the severity of the current pandemic. However, I feel the author did only a mediocre job at getting information from more relevant sources.

The article serves its purpose, to inform people about the negative aspects of Twitter. I would say this is good journalism because even though most of the article is about how Twitter should not be trusted, the author still includes some information that is pro Twitter. The sources used are also credible.

I tust this information mostly because CNN is a very reliable and popular news resource. I read this because of how rediculous pople are getting about the swine flu and how it is such a commercializedblown out of proportion outbreak. It is something to be concerned about but it shoulnt be this crazy. Great stats and bad show off abou twitter.

Story points out the panic-capacity of Twitter for crisis and an unreliable place for information, both of which should be at least somewhat common sense.

I think the article was fair because it showed different points of view. The subject itself doesn't seem very deep though.
