Twitter ~ CNN Style

Hello everyone. Hope you have had a great week. I have been so busy getting ready for a busy travel weekend so my post is going to be short tonight but it flows with the topic. I have a new addiction and it is Twitter. I heard about Twitter maybe a year ago on CNN when they did a story about a man who had been arrested and he got word to his friends with the simple word “arrested” Twitter is a free service where people can communicate with each other using up to 140 characters (hard but possible) Well I signed up for Twitter and never thought much of it but over the last few weeks I am hooked. The best part is I can keep up with many people at CNN. We have all seen how Rick Sanchez and others at CNN have made twitter a vital part of their shows. Well I thought I would put a list together of all the people and shows at CNN that I follow. If you know of any more please feel free to add them to the comments.
