Use of Twitter - "watch" traditional news sources, in a message stream

Here's a thought.

An example use of Twitter. 

"Watch" traditional news sources, in a message stream.

If you wanted to know what the various news sources posting (a.k.a. tweeting), you could watch their messages.

For example, using twitter, you could watch the sources that I've set up in a list, with: http://twitter.com/#!/erich13/news-outlets

So, since I want to get a more complete list, I tweeted this message...
