The Chicago Tribune was one of the first big American newspapers to rally its staffers to get on Twitter and now they've taken the bold step into full-force, mass-twidoption by posting the Tribune's Masthead as a series of links to individual staffers' Twitter pages.

Led by the inimitable fictional persona @ColonelTribune (aka the "real-life version of @ChicagoTribune")— seemingly every member of the paper's staff is on board the tweeting train.

Will other news media follow suit? There's certainly getting to be a whole lotta @ signs round these parts.
