About a month ago, I observed that two main things I found lacking here vs. Twitter were accounts from professional creatives (artists, etc) and discussion of breaking news.

The creatives have definitely started to arrive. But the breaking news has been much slower. However, it also seems like breaking news is starting to disappear from Twitter.

I wonder what will fill that gap. Perhaps it will be here, eventually.

@mattblaze I am seeing it here. Are you following the usual major outlets? My feed has too much of their stuff.
@noplasticshower I'm following a few, more than I did over there (I tend to follow individual journalists rather than the news orgs themselves).
@mattblaze the orgs do the breaking thing
@noplasticshower That wasn't true on Twitter. You'd often see first hand discussion before the story was written
@mattblaze agreed
@mattblaze and it was fun to watch A/B testing and then get the resulting paper the next day
