WHDH has put forth the platform in place, and it looks like it is practicing what it preaches, right? I guess I've formed a social media relationship with the weather team, but not necessarily the news team, or in fact, the producers of the news. And, in fact, the news team isn't being social. They're aggregating content and just pushing it out. In the case of the Twitter Account @7news, they are simply using a third party twitter platform called ConnectTweet to pull together tweets from their regular tweeters. Good points Ari, let's hope that Channel 7 is listening, and they chime in here... Ari- GREAT points you make.
