MSNBC.com will increase its Twitter presence from 27,000 followers to 1.4 million when its new deal with BNO News’ popular @BreakingNews commences in early 2010, reports B&C.

MSNBC.com will be the prime client for @BreakingNews’ new wire service. BNO will continue feeding into the @BreakingNews stream, but MSNBC will be able to add its own content.
