Hey, it is good news. It certainly does not happen often that you get the services of a 6'11" stud big for 6 to 8 years at the college level.

Was it ever made "official" by the NCAA before yesterday? I know we took it as a guarantee, but I can't remember if the NCAA ever made an official ruling. If they hadn't yet, maybe now it's official and that's why the article was written.

Fox Sports Wisconsin had this official news on May 22.  In Hunt Years, yesterday was breaking for the JS.

The article was really about MU being part of the super bowl eve series. Otule was just the hook to get the people to read the article. Besides that while the hard core fans here new Otule was coming back, I am not sure the general sports fan were aware of it.

If true, maybe that is because the Journal didn't cover it when timely???

GGGG

This has nothing to do with why newspapers are useless.  This is just lazy ass journalism.

And just because general fans didn't know about it doesn't mean it can't be reported in a timely fashion.

No idea why people find so much joy in the sinking newspaper industry. Very odd. By the way, where do you think the majority of bloggers get their "scoops"? Yup, from newspapers' websites. Once newspapers vanish, those same bloggers will have to finally leave their parent's basement and uncover their own damn news.

Twitter is a much bigger source of blogging material than any newspaper website.

You are thinking too narrowly about the industry.  Newspapers are no longer an industry on their own...but simply a vehicle to get information out to the people.  There are plenty of web-sites that do this, not to mention Twitter, that don't revolve around printed documents.

It'll be great to see O'Tule impart all of his knowledge and experience to the rest of the team.  He's the only player on the team that remembers drinking at the 'Lanche.

I am an '08 grad (December) and Otule is the only player left who was playing (his first semester at MU was my last) while I was still a student.

I love that I just had my 5 year reunion and Otule is still playing for MU.

Call me lazy, but I think you just answered your own question.

It is out of season, so it was not pressing news. I am not defending the newspaper here, but the "STOP THE PRESSES'''''JOURNAL SENTINEL BREAKING MU NEWS" is an over the top reaction.

Sending out a blog post saying that Otule was granted a sixth year, especially when other sources mentioned it at the time it happened, should be standard procedure.

True.
But Twitter doesn't make money.
A vast majority of blogs don't make money.
A majority of web-only publications don't make money.
A large majority of online components of print publications don't make money.
For most newspapers/magazines, print essentially subsidizes online. If/when print dies, those sites (and the people who find, report, write, edit and publish the news on them) go away.

I don't agree with that.  A lot of legitimate online sites with quality reporting are connected to other types of media (television for instance), or don't have any print media associated with them (Yahoo.)

And last I heard, Twitter was profitable.

Is this a post from 2007? Cause the view of the web's monetary value seems like its coming from then.

There are many many blogs that make money, especially in niche subjects.

Yahoo produces very little news of its own. It aggregates, mostly from newspapers or wire services.
Outside of a couple of national networks (i.e. CNN), most web sites affiliated with television news organizations are money pits. You don't believe your local TV affiliates web site is profitable, do you?

I should have been more clear (and you less pedantic, because I'm pretty sure you know what I meant).
Twitter does not generate revenue for the person who tweets, except in that it could direct traffic to a place that does generate revenue. Nobody will ever make a dime by simply tweeting out news.

Come on you can't post your big long statement of how nothing makes money and then change it to the portion that you would be most correct with.  Stick to your argument and be stubborn or address the portions where you're wrong.

I'll respond to the rest later, but you should google celebrities and Twitter to read about how they get paid for promotional/product tweets all the time.

Also, it's called Twitter advertising. You originally said twitter doesn't make money then changed that to people who tweet.
