Mumbai breaking news ‘tweets’

November 26th, 2008 at 05:00pm Anna Derocher

News of terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, broke this afternoon. Discussion on Twitter started nearly immediately. These people, not journalists, are aggregating content and posting what they’ve learned. It’s quite amazing to read the discussion. Of course, there’s no guarantee that the information is accurate or credible.

Twitter is one of those free, social-networking sites that allows users to communicate with each other in 140 characters or less. The posts are called “tweets.”
