Twitter Freak Out! Target's Coming to the Metreon

Can you hear the Twitter bells ringing? Or rather, hurling arrows of joy at a certain red bull's-eye? Target's coming to the Metreon (as Curbed put it, THE Target). And people are freaking out. Check out some Twitter reactions below. That's one beloved brand.


@SeanaLyn OMG BEST NEWS EVER! AND YES THIS TOTALLY DESERVES CAPS! RT @bbretterson TARGET TAKING OVER THE METREON!!

@CatinCal omg Target WHAT? Something that might actually stick in the Metreon!!! At last!

@juleselyse Yay! Target @ the Metreon. SF activists, please don't F this up!

@aragni: if this is true i will cry tears of joy

@SFDoug Its a godsend for the Metreon and Target lovers like me!!

@bigfatsinner If they open a Target at the Metreon, the 30 Stockton bus will forever be a lost cause.

@fluorescentsxm Sadly, this would be the best thing to happen to the Metreon in years.

@teratogenic Finally something useful in that graveyard!

@theCara: Omg, bullseye to the awesome!

@jeffrin My non-SF people just won't understand the joy this brings.

@MegELee No need to drive to Daly City anymore for crap we don't need!

Three Questions:
1. Since when is copying & pasting one-sided tweets considered journalism?
2. Did the copy & paste person (ahem, I'm sorry, "author") get paid for this?
3. If so, can I have their job?

There were plenty if freak outs against Target setting up shop in SF but I guess 7x7 in it's in-depth cut-and-paste-directly from twitter reporting isn't interested in publishing those.
