I don't think they actually tweet the links themselves, they probably have some script that does that when they throw a new article on the site.

That's probably true, given the bloodless bot-speak and Borg-like RT activity of @RogerGillespie and @CBCHamilton. ‏@ConradCollaco, being a non-executive producer, is more real and hands-on (even if his signature "you've been quoted in my story" routine is robotic).

What I don't quite get is why the institutional account (@CBCHamilton) seems to carry RG's personal voice, such as it is, while @RogerGillespie is just a cascade of impersonal site links. Seems backwards, but maybe that's the point. (Paradigm shift!)

And no, you're not wrong to think that the community weeklies are running circles around CBC Hamilton. They're offering more substance and they're actually making good on the promise of "news on the street where you live".
