On Twitter, Scott Simon's Long Goodbye To His Mother : The Two-Way : NPR - 0 views

  •  
    "And his tweets, some of them uncomfortably raw, struck a nerve. Fellow journalists, technology writers and countless others spent the past several days monitoring Twitter, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
