We’ve been noticing that many heavy traffic news and other mass media sites have been posting tweets to them via @.  I guess the rationale for this is to get a “pulse” of what readers feel about late breaking news, current trends, and genuine feedback.  Interestingly, more and more of these types of setup are being hit hard by irrelevant, obviously commercial tweets.

Looks like a few of these newspaper tweet sites are unmanaged.  Bad move.  You don’t want your newspaper readers saying “Cool, XXXX newspaper is now selling Tramadol online” LOLz.
