Below are a few web pages that I think are very useful internet tools for journalists.
Twitter.com in an online site that allows people to send short messages or 'tweets' to the subscribers of the person who is posting the information on the site. The messages can be received online or via cell phone. On a side note, Poynter.org posts 'tweets' on this web site, along with many others.
Another useful site is Linkedin.com. This site is basically a fusion of a facebook page and a resume. On this site you can post your picture, work information, abilities, education information, etc....
Finally, if you need to interview to someone who is across the country but (as a journalist) you prefere face-to-face interviews, then Skype might be a good program for you. Skype is a free program that you download for it site. This program can be used to speak with other Skype users via text, verbal communication, and webcam. Not only can you see the person you are interviewing (and vice versa), but the program allows you to record the conversation and save it to you computer. Jackpot.
