Twitter is emerging as a major force in breaking news. But some people disagree.Today we saw yet another illustration, when people in Mumbai got the word of terrorist attacks out to the world well before mainstream media even knew something was happening. Mathew Ingram points out previous examples of Twitter users breaking (Read More)

: That is the key that we have more primary witnesses to events. First hand history is always better in the long run than secondary and even tertiary sources or channels of information. As someone else mentioned it is brand new reporting territory and it is difficult to fact check tweets as well as there should be some sop's set up for how to use the channels in time of an emergency. So folks make situations potentially worse. Still twitter and Friendfeed are where I turned.

: twitter is a news source like conversations in the street are a news source. there is some value to verification of sources, to gathering information from news sources, to filtering out repetition and to presenting the news in a coherent fashion. these things twitter doesn't do but that is not to say it has no news value. as somewhere to trawl for raw data in the case of a breaking story, it may be valuable.

: Hmm...an interesting read, but I still do prefer Firefox (for now). While Chrome does have many advantages over Firefox, it is not enough for me to transfer my blogoholic habits over to the other side of the fence.

Mashable!
The hot rumor today is that Facebook and Twitter held “several weeks of serious talks” about an acquisition recently, which have since come to an end after the two were unable to reach an agreeable price for the microblogging service. Alas, there are greater tragedies. While Twitter might be the “it” startup of 2008, it s (Read More)

WASHINGTON -- Global warming could be a boon to Russia, a European country could be overrun by organized crime and the U.S. dollar _ and the United States itself_ could further decline in importance during the next two decades, says a U.S. intelligence report with predictions for the world in 2025.

The antics of a dog who confuses his day job as the canine superhero in a TV action series with his real-life skills is plenty high-concept. But in "Bolt" -- a blithe, digitally animated (and, in select theaters, 3-D) doggy comedy as zippy as its name -- the fanciful premise only paws the surface of what's going on as we si (Read More)

Officials at Boston College have made what may be a momentous decision: they've stopped doling out new email accounts to incoming students. The officials realized that the students already had established digital identities by the time they entered college, so the new email addresses were just not being utilized. The colleg (Read More)

: Interesting. I know here at my school many professors do not see your questions/concerns through email as legit unless they are sent through a school source (school e-mail); they are afraid they are spam. Most young kids create immature and embarrassing e-mail names ("stud", "hot", "baby"). In this case, they (probably) will create a new one when they start college if the school doesn't give them one. I know Google runs our school e-mail now and it great. I just can't imagine eliminating the school e-mail addresses altogether verification reasons.

: @Udi Also, I imagine if it happened more often and was generally more used it wouldn't seem as strange.
