Ah, Twitter. I don’t know if it has jumped the shark, or become legit. Either way, when I witnessed its launch in March 2006, I never imagined that chatter on this texting platform would one day be – among other things - used as a source for Governor Schwarzenegger’s spokesperson when being interviewed for a CNN story:

The legislation has been divisive, with the governor’s office receiving more than 100,000 phone calls and e-mails, most of them in opposition, spokeswoman Andrea McCarthy said last month.

But she added that most of the Twitter posts the governor received were in favor of the bill.

Do you think Twitter feedback counts as a legitimate talking point? Would you use it in the way this spokesperson has?
