Move over Reuters, Twitter is here
Like a lot of people on Twitter, I found out about yesterday’s earthquake in England a good 10 minutes before the first preliminary reports appeared on main news sites like BBC - I went to the main news sites to get more information about the quake, but even once they did finally get something up they had less details than Twitter users were publishing on community news site Norg.
