CNN is citing Twitter?

Watson beats humans. Yes, we all know the story by now. But CNN posted a story about it and at the end, cited reactions from "Twitter users." That's right, they wrote, "Several Twitter users were awed by the computer's smarts."

How is this any form of journalism? If they wrote, "several random people on the street were awed by Watson," you'd think, who cares? Why should we care what "several Twitter users" think? Are they even real people?

I don't read CNN that often - do they do this frequently?

Bieber Fever

I know Justin Bieber is kind of a dork but did you see him at the Grammys? I thought it was a great performance with Jaden Smith and Usher. The kid seems pretty talented. This was the first time I watched any part of the Grammys in a long time, and I was impressed. Gaga was fun, Cee-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow weren't bad, and Mick Jagger was pretty entertaining too.

The Bieber story is kind of amazing, a Canadian kid puts his videos on YouTube and suddenly becomes this big pop star. It will be interesting to see how his career goes. Most kid pop stars don't do well in the long run career wise or personally.
