Agree with your basic point in spirit Greg. However consider that there surely is a large constituency of ‘browsing’ readers who would not click on the link to many stories anyway; they tend to just read the headline. Add to that the advent of Twitter’s relatively new ‘Summary’ functionality – which gives news publishers the option to dial in the top par of a story or even a specially written synopsis which will appear if the ‘summary’ icon is clicked. I’ve noticed publishers of paid-for and free news sites alike use the function often. It seems to me that together with the headline, the summary is often all or most a Twitter news consumer needs.

I’m interested to see how video is evolving in the news organization – in particular the short video space such as the work Wall Street is doing with #Tout and their worldstream project (where I’m an advisor) http://stream.wsj.com/story/world-stream/SS-2-44156/?mg=inert-wsj

I wonder if the researchers considered the fact that some of the publications are behind a paywall. Tweeting or re-tweeting with a link to a paid article is a big no-no.
