d) Never used Twitter

As soon as I realized that sometimes there is news worthy stuff posted there, there will always be reporters crawling through the noise to find those and put the content on their respective outlets. What's the point of me subscribing to boat loads of literal shit ("at toilet, pls rt") to find a pearl now and then, when I can use traditional media to get to the pearls immediately? Sure, I might not get the pearls instantly, but I think that sacrifice is totally worth it when I occasionally read through some public Twitter feed.

The larger issue is that Twitter has pushed news services to focus on being first over being correct. It seems like reporters are falling over themselves to be the first to break a story, journalistic integrity be damned.
