You do not need to join Twitter to search and read there.

>Is it me, or are more and more online news sources relying on FaceBook and Tweeter as their place to put comments about an article? I have been noticing this more. For example, CBSNews know longer (not sure when happened) has a link to their comments. I, without either accounts, find disturbing that I am asked to join these social media sites just to read what others think about an article.
