Link: The mobilization of breaking news through Twitter
“Twitter has a reputation for inane social interaction and fun stuff, but it is increasingly becoming a serious source of breaking news with a profound impact on how we get information. This shift is in part due to the popularity of using Twitter with mobile devices, as breaking news often appears on Twitter as events happen and are piped right to us no matter where we are or what we are doing.”
