Traditionally, it takes three things to form a trend. I'm settling on two, for now, because I find it very interesting that these two articles bubbled to the surface last week: This one in the New York Times and this one on Huffington Post.

The first post is important because, in my mind, it is a bit of a journalist's view of why Twitter is important to journalism: because it streams in information from a vast number of sources. They get to bypass the traditional gatekeepers of access.

The second post is important because, in my mind, it is confirmation that the journalists will indeed find the information they need on Twitter (and other social media). They may have worried that without their traditional sources, the gatekeepers of access, information would dry up. Brangelina, methinks, are just the first Jenga piece to unsteady the tower.

If you need a third bit of proof on the trend, turn to Seth Godin, who tells it like it is.
