Dry Heaves In Morning Causes

The riot police last week suffered Ecuador and its president, Rafael Correa, called attempt coup, became a historical event, not because of its importance, rather scarce, but have become the baptism of fire of Twitter as a means of communication.

It is true that in the past had served to raise awareness of the internal situation in some countries or to show the repression, as was the case of the riots in Iran earlier this year . However, this time could be followed, minute to minute and through this network, what was happening in the country before their own news agencies report or that the online editions of the Ecuadorian media hang it on your pages.

coverage of the events that made many journalists through their Twitter accounts was followed by thousands of people who, in turn, "tweeted" messages to their followers, multiplying exponentially echo these messages up to 140 characters in length. Special attention deserves the case of Quito journalist Susan Moran, who from the streets of his city, and on mobile phones was "tweeting" live whatever happened to the network. This was an echo which now has about 9,000 followers.

But not only were the journalists who make use of this tool. In fact, this network was chosen by the President of Ecuador to declare a State of Emergency - " Government Declares State of Emergency" read the terse message, "Rafael Correa since he was cornered in a hospital by agents rioters. An hour later he was vice president of the country that used the same account to show their loyalty, " Vice President reaffirms its full support for President Rafael Correa Delgado." So, little by little, through this channel, various authorities and institutions were showing their support for Ecuador to the law. In parallel, Twitter was also used by other presidents from neighboring countries to show their support for Correa.

Does this mean that until now he had not been given this use Twitter? In all, as already used to broadcast sporting events or events of any live, but what is certain is that this has been a sort of coming-official. If until now many saw the website of the bird as entertainment or as a site to be more in the kit to complete the perfect surfer, has now shown that not only is one of the tools used by journalists "Profession that has made Twitter more support," but even governments have realized its enormous potential as a speaker.

Although there are many voices who still doubt that Twitter can be defined as a media and believe that in 140 characters is impossible to do journalism, there are also plenty of opinions that think otherwise and who believe their immediacy, its use by any other portable device, and interactivity make this tool as a weapon of great value to the report, as also allows you to hang pictures, link to more detailed information or blogs ...

And it's not forget that the social network or personal Micronoticias agency, as defined, has some 145 million users worldwide. It is also free, can be used from a mobile phone is open, meaning anyone can follow without any permits or authorizations. Taking into account that the "tweets" or messages may be "tweeted" turn countless times, give us an idea of \u200b\u200bthe multiplier effect that a holder can be achieved in this network. And is that a good journalist can say a lot in just 140 characters.
