Fun! Columbia Journalism Review notes that you can make any headline suddenly fashionable and timely simply by adding “On Twitter” to it. Let’s try it with today’s Washington Post:

  • Specter Leaves GOP, Shifting Senate Balance On Twitter
  • A Tense Beginning For Obama’s Agenda On Twitter
  • Experts Study Flu’s Variations On Twitter
  • Little Boy at the Center of Storm On Twitter
  • Nonprofits Depart United Way On Twitter
  • Specter’s Earthquake On Twitter
  • U.S. Is a Reluctant Shareholder On Twitter
  • Council Reworks Fenty’s Budget On Twitter
  • Capitals Finish Off the Rangers On Twitter
  • Tracking Flu Fever On Twitter

It works! Lo, I have seen the future of journalism.
