JoshR: So, why did you decide not to continue with the Twitter feed?

Thuy Nguyen/Daily Briefing: We'll pick Twitter projects wisely said editor Steve Smith at the meeting this morning. He said the goal with Twittering the Duncan trial was to learn how to use the service for news needs, but with the expense of sending reporter Meghann M. Cuniff to Boise and getting fewer than 100 twits/followers, Twittering everything wouldn't be worth it. Smith also put Twitter on his phone but had to disable the alerts function because his phone seemed to vibrate or beep constantly with every tweet. Here's the Twitter page, and here's the live blog. (Edited to add at 4:01 p.m. on Aug 15: Smith says "We've come to the end of our one-week experiment Tweeting. We will return as developments warrant and for closing arguments and the verdict.")

Question: Did you follow Meghann's Twitter coverage for the first 3 days of the Duncan sentencing hearing?
