If Someone Announces Something On Twitter, Can I Post It On My Blog As News ?

I am a video Games journalist and i have very few readers so i decided to use twitter to help my writing so is it legal for me to use a designers tweet as news?
this is the one i mean it’s from the official mass effect 2 twitter
RT @truffle Working on the new “technology” feature for #masseffect2. It’s secret, and awesome! Don’t tell anyone.

    By putting it on Twitter it’s in the public domain so you’re free to do what you like with it.
    NB – I hope you have a good editor as your grammar is a bit rubbish for a ‘journalist’

    Course you can!

    If they confirm it they can’t sue you, only if you make it up.
    So sure!
