My friends who don't twitter or blog have been joyously informing me of the demise - those without a FaceBook profile are beside themselves. I say boo hiss to them. Last night while catching up with my tweeding (sorry - I couldn't help myself) a tweet popped in about the sad death of Michael Jackson - I immediately set up a Tweetdeck search and starting reading what people were saying (and they were saying a lot - every minute or so 100 tweets were pouring in). As I listened to the banal chatter on the BBC 24 News - about 'is he' or 'isn't he' (which I immediately turned over to on seeing the tweet) - I suddenly realised how much more informed the twittering was. People were posting links, checking sources, out pouring emotions - it was fascinating and far more informed than the news flash. Great post.
