The difference between #Twitter and other social networking sites is that Twitter is regarded as the platform to search for news in real time.

When enough people / organizations will post news content here.

This is obvious. But what can Nostr do to get them to post here?

Hard to say. I think trending hashtags are an important component. We already have #news here, especially since the #franceriots are censored elsewhere. But I only know because I explicitly looked to it.

Disaster response will suffer greatly from the loss of Twitter. It has consistently been used to mobilize aid in areas hit by earthquakes and other natural disasters. #Nostr is free, open, and available to anyone, and would be a perfect substitute for this, but it wonโ€™t happen until enough users get over their wariness to join the network thatโ€™s โ€œjust full of spam and people talking about cryptocurrencies.โ€
