Hi, The Economist's community editor here. The "feed of Twitter accounts" ARE our writers. We don't post any old muck on our accounts. Twitter's a great place to post updates in real time. But we'll supplement that with thoughtful analysis. But we won't compromise our standards by rushing stuff out with everyone else to hit the Google sweet spot. So tweeting is sort of our compromise. We may return to live blogging-- it's up to our US editors-- so if you want it, write to them and demand it!
