Maybe CNN has there eye on Twitscoop? That is where I heard about it that morning, or maybe it was the perfect storm of a news event.

Why doesn't somebody invent a way to tag tweets with a single word which can group together entries on a particular topic so, even if you have no followers, your tweets can be found easily?

Oh, they have: http://hashtags.org.

But what about if there's no hashtags, how would you find those tweets with the same word(s), even tweets by people with no followers at all.

Maybe look on www.twitscoop.com.

Then again, the last tweets of the passengers may be found here: www.cursebird.com.
I'm sure mine would be.

Does MIR need a twitter correspondent? ;)

This is such an interesting study of society and the way we interact and learn about the world. The way it is constantly shifting is fascinating.

Call me old fashioned but I am glad that I didn't know about the crash within 3 seconds of it happening. I feel that to be constantly interrupted by news flashes is a very disruptive way to live ones life.

And it doesn't really matter whether it is a big and sad story like the crash, or finding out that someone is currently deciding between buying the brown leather gloves or the striped wollen ones.....actually it does matter, this total and desperate need to share the miniture of one's day to day life is very very sad; so I never want to know about that.

I think it is an interesting step that anyone can be a journalist, but I will remain convinced for a very long time that the best thing they can do with their news is to pass it to a professional who will disect it, chop it and filter it, before finding a slot for it in daily publication or scheduled tv news programme.

I guess I like to be in charge of my over-scheduled life and would rather pull stuff as and when I want it rather than this force-fed pushed world we are moving to.

just my 2 pennies worth...

Great post!
Nicely demolishes the twitter fanboyism.

The hype will die eventually, and then it will just become another myspace/facebook/[insert-overhyped-"web-2.0"-app-here].
