Paul Julius Reuter deployed pigeons to deliver news in the 19th century. Now electronic "birds" are playing a role in news delivery at Reuters.
The free social networking and microblogging platform Twitter provides a convenient way to send out miniature blasts of news to the world wide web using short 140-character "tweets" or updates.
Most of the Reuters Twitter feeds are automated and send out tweets, which include a link to a story to draw visitors to the websites.
The Baron also tweets – follow this website’s updates at ● http://twitter.com/baroninfo.
Reuters’ first interactive feed on Twitter was ● https://twitter.com/reuters_co_uk. The UK online editorial team follows users back and monitors tweets. It provides a means for users to interact with editors in person.
