Faster Than A Speeding Twit
May 15, 2008
Yahoo today is reporting that Twitter users got the news of the China earthquake out before the big media giants did. Well goody for them. This is any surprise to those of us using Twitter.
This isn’t the first time I have heard of news breaking on Twitter. Just yesterday I heard there would be an announcement concerning the fate of Ohio AG Mark Dann hours before it was official. It was also going around Twitter every time they thought he was ready to come out and speak and when it going and, and when it was over. Word travels fast there.
On the same notion of word traveling fast despite the 140 character limit for news it isn’t hard to go into information overload. With hundreds of tiny messages saying the same damned thing it is hard to keep track of the news, the gossip, or checking your regular updates. While Twitter succeeds in getting the word out the lack of filters can drive you insane.
