Twittr is the Future of News

Last week when there was an earthquake in San Francisco, the first I heard about it was from my friends on Twitter.

Now there's a sfquake twitter user.

Then yesterday when Josh Wolf was released from prison, the first I heard about it was from my friends on Twitter.

Then today, I had this exchange with my friend from Phoenix on Twitter:

stevegarfield Snowing in Boston! from web


cherylcolan @stevegarfield Wow! Vlog it! (please?) from twitterrific in reply to stevegarfield


stevegarfield @cherylcolan that's easy. 1. go out 2. film snow on N95 3. post to VOX via WIFi http://stevegarfield.vox.com - from web in reply to cherylcolan

It's crazy.

Is this the future of news?
