about swine flu. This is not just knee-jerk Luddism 2.0: it's argued that
Twitter's structure encourages ill-informed repetition, with little room
for context, while older Web media use their power for good — for
instance Google's [2]Flu Trends page (which we [3]discussed last winter),

epidemiologically speaking, to [6]catch the flu now vs. later.
