The Dog-Eat-Dog World of the Toronto Twittersphere

twitterIt's a jungle out there. You need thick skin to tweet in the ever-vicious Twittersphere, especially when representing the T.Dot.

Yesterday evening, as I checked the news in my RSS feeds, I learnt Ho-Lee-Chow had gone out of business. I deemed the subject matter blog-worthy, so I blogged about it. Every blog entry automatically becomes a tweet, so I also tweeted about it.

That's when she struck. @TorontoViewer shot me down with this deadly tweet.

That's right, folks. CP24 beat me to Ho Lee Chow punch by a whole two hours. By the time my silly little tweet hit hit the Twittersphere, it was 120 minute old news.

Umm... thanks, @TorontoViewer, for the shame spiral.

All jokes aside, not everyone would have read the first Tweet of the death. We're not official news delivering outlets to be the first. We just have to be correct and sincere.
