Summary


In yet another powerful showcase of Twitter’s potential power as a disseminator of information, today several people received the first information via the service that NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander has confirmed that there is in fact water on Mars. It’s still not on CNN.com, not on MSNBC.com, not Fox.com. But a Twitter Search query reveals it’s all over Twitter.


As a result of the news spreading quickly through Twitter, it’s also now all over FriendFeed where some discussions are taking place on the subject. This is the kind of stuff these services are built for.


The water, was found in ice-rich soil. Tests confirmed the ice was water-based.


Update: To be fair, there was rumor floating around about this yesterday, as Popular Mechanics apparently got a confirmation that this would be announced, but no other major news source appeared to pick up on the story after it was confirmed today faster than it got to Twitter.
