    We Read Twitter So You Don't Have To

    Twitter is supposed to save journalism 140 characters at a time. Media people love it, and we love media people, so let's take a look at what the Twitterati have to say for themselves.


    Entertainment Weekly founder turned new media curmudgeon Jeff Jarvis couldn't remember how old he is.

    Ex-Huffington Post editor Rachel Sklar got peeved about words.

    Time political writer Karen Tumulty's plane was late.

    BusinessWeek media columnist Jon Fine was in Los Angeles checking out the menfolk.

    New York Times writer Matt Richtel keeps pretending to be a prostitute.
