How do you feel about a news service on Twitter asking for donation requests?
I follow @BreakingNewsOn on Twitter. They do a great job of providing latest news and information. They have been the first to break some very big stories. I’m not sure how much I want to pay for this news service. How about you?

Social Media is now an alternative news source! Social Media offers ways for people to get their message out, to acquire and share information. We are the reporters and news aggregators! We’re helping others. I’m going to quickly cover how Twitter has become one alternative news source.
Twitter is a microblogging platform where people, world-wide, are communicating and broadcasting news. News is sent out as “tweets,” messages sent to Twitter. Each tweet is like a bird chirping, short and hopefully sweet – 140-characters or less. The conversation on Twitter may be as simple as updating what you are doing, posting links about informative or fun website articles, to providing information about fire and evacuations.

I had so many plans for this blog, for regular updates, SEO tips and findings, etc. But… I never imagined I would be writing about a devastating fire in Big Sur, California that is, as of July 4, 2008, so horrific that it has burned over 64,000 acres. Containment is currently only at 5% and is not anticipated to be 100% until the end of July.
Hundreds of homes and business owners are preparing for impending flames. The Basin Complex fire merged with the Indian Fire and is moving closer to Big Sur Village. More than 900 residents have been evacuated. Homes burned. What they know of freedom and independence is gone, only with hopes of starting over.
Darby Marshall, spokesman for the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services, states:
“The fire is just a big raging animal right now.”
