I dont know if business week is a magazine, or a Journal, i would say it is a little bit of both.
The article is called "The Coming Facebook-Twitter Collision" by Sarah Lacy
Business week is a reliable source, and the article just talks about how twitter and facebook will soon be competing. It is a very good article that talks about twitter and clearly states objectives of twitter. It could be very good in discussing what twitter is used for, and how it is used good vs. bad.

Book Asessment
I would use the book, "Once you're lucky. Twice you're good. The Rebirth of Silicon Valley and the rise of Web 2.0" by Sarah Lacy
This book basically talks about all kinds of web sites and companies. The basic argument of the book is that with basic experience of a company hitting it big, they can do it a second time. The books argument is not relevant to my thesis, but the chapter that talks about twitter is. It is the authors, and other peoples quotes on how twitter can be used in a positive way. The source is viable, and the author has been reporting on web technology for many years.

Research Questions
I found this great article on line, actually listening to DiggNation, which is a social news site that talks about a guy/girl whose tweet was a rant about their new job, and the employer found out.

My new thesis hopefully a little more narrower would be about how safe and secure your information/comments are on twitter or facebook, i was thinking maybe just twitter.
The digg post also talks about how your tweets also get transfered into Goole Alert which i find very interesting.
1. How safe is information on the web
2. How private are comments/information given via twitter
3.

Twitter Definition
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers). Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow anybody to access them. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website
