Thanks for visiting!
This blog is a presentation of Publitweet, a company building tools to help news organizations and publishers curate the real-time Web.
We believe there is a wealth of great content being created in real-time using tools such as Twitter. From earthquakes to elections, regular citizens with mobile phones are reporting on events happening in their communities — putting many more potential eyes on a story than any news organization could possibly have.
Journalists and editors can play a valuable role in curating the best of that content, applying standards for sourcing and accuracy while highlighting the best stuff. That work will also help journalists in finding grist for their own in-depth storytelling.
Journalists and writers themselves are also creating more and more real-time content, giving audiences an inside view to their work.
We hope this will be a place to share and exchange ideas about this new field, aimed at bringing better content to users who are struggling to keep up with the flood of information.
