Twitter as the “first responder” breaking news source

January 19th, 2009 Posted in General

So here’s my first ridiculous attempt at video blogging.  I can’t seem to find the time to sit down and craft full fledged blog entries so I figure I’ll give video blogging a stab and see if I can knock out things more frequently.   It’s duly noted that I should cut out my use of the word ‘like’ if I want to sound less like a teenage schoolgirl.

Twitter has been taking off for a while but I’ve had a hard time devoting time to the service.  Personally I had my aha moment watching live reports from the Hudson river airplane crash.  Twitter is what you want it to be and if you don’t want to devote hours a day tweeting with people then don’t.   For me, Twitter is a fantastic way to get ‘first responder’ breaking news accounts.
