I'm sure your old man will be really impressed that you had this headline from an unconfirmed 2nd-hand source a full 20minutes sooner than the official announcement!!! And all you had to do was hang on the Twitter-sphere's every word 24-7. What did you do with that extra 20 minutes? http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbf0ee549e2ae5574080000 Tom Mon, 02 May 2011 16:07:01 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbf0ee549e2ae5574080000 During that same 20 minutes Twitter also told us with the same level of authority that Bin Laden had been killed a week ago via a drone attack in the mountains, and that Obama had laughed knowingly during the White House Correspondents dinner. In retrospect there were a handful of newsworthy tweets, but at the time they were impossible to distinguish from the gossip, rumors and hoaxes. Twitter is at most as credible as the reputation of Twitter account making the post, and most of the time that's no more credible than my crazy uncle. Which is a lot more credible than the BI comments, by the way. What is going on here?? Have the admins checked the IPs to make sure it isn't just a handful of crackpots flooding the site? http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbee9e5ccd1d51b78070000 SteveO Mon, 02 May 2011 13:29:09 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbee9e5ccd1d51b78070000 This is the most ridiculous article ever. Just because some guy tweeted it 20 mins before it was on the TV news doesn't mean Twitter "broke" the story. First, only his 12 followers read his tweet, so does that even qualify? In order for this to be a "CNN moment" does that mean I have to follow all 120 million twitterheads just in case one of them tweets a true story? Or are you counting on all his followers to RT and all their followers to RT and so on? In which case, Twitter is just a medium for gossip and rumors, but this one happened to be true. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbedef44bd7c8e875170000 DylanCombsTV Mon, 02 May 2011 12:42:28 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbedef44bd7c8e875170000 I first heard about it on Twitter, gotta love social media! http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbeda8549e2ae0271080000 kP Mon, 02 May 2011 12:23:33 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbeda8549e2ae0271080000 I can receive news from my neighbor - it does not make him a JOURNALIST. Is that the word you are looking for? Twitter is not journalism, but it can be a conduit for news. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbed4b24bd7c85168020000 Matt Mon, 02 May 2011 11:58:42 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbed4b24bd7c85168020000 You obviously weren't around for the "CNN moment". Getting some information out first, by a few minutes, pales in comparison. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbecbb7ccd1d5fd450c0000 Hmm Mon, 02 May 2011 11:20:23 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbecbb7ccd1d5fd450c0000 but CNN doesn't have a losing batting average when it comes to correct vs. incorrect news reports. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbec6afccd1d5473c230000 Anonymous Mon, 02 May 2011 10:58:55 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbec6afccd1d5473c230000 +1, Twitter is lame.. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbec67249e2ae923f0b0000 Harmy G Mon, 02 May 2011 10:57:54 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbec67249e2ae923f0b0000 People who think twitter is dumb still think twitter is dumb. This didn't change anything. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbec2854bd7c8634b040000 Matthew Olson Mon, 02 May 2011 10:41:09 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbec2854bd7c8634b040000 I don't see Twitter as a journalism outlet, but more a raw data source. Tweets, like data, need interpretation and verification before becoming actionable information. That's where journalists should focus their attention, not on competing with Twitter, but utilizing social media as a raw data source. Maintaining journalistic standards in vetting the source is crucial. Let social media have the rumors, keep the facts coming from the news agencies. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbeae8ccadcbb8d150b0000 Tony Ramos Mon, 02 May 2011 09:15:56 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbeae8ccadcbb8d150b0000 More like, "Twitter just had its OJ moment" http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe8531cadcbbe94c190000 Ohiojoe Mon, 02 May 2011 06:19:29 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe8531cadcbbe94c190000 Using that logic, *I'm* a better news source now that I received and retold the Osama death news before CNN reported it. Twitter has so many tweets every second, you're bound to be able to back after the fact and find SOMEone who tweeted breaking news first. Finally,"Twitter" doesn't have anything to lose when it allows an end user to tweet out B.S. rumors, thus the info can't be trusted in the least. CNN, on the other hand, does have something to lose if it scrolled across every rumor it got at the same rate tweets are sent out on Twitter. Thus, CNN can be trusted to have at least preliminarily verified their info profoundly more confidently than Twitter tweets. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe840249e2ae8824020000 Markus Mon, 02 May 2011 06:14:26 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe840249e2ae8824020000 Nice comment regarding Twitter becoming a major source for fast spreading news. But your analogy is kind of strange – Twitter is like TV, whilst CNN is like @ReallyVirtual, Keith Urban and others combined. Anyway, it's once again a nice example for how fast news can spread over twitter. Btw: What do you expect from news, if one of your conclusions is, that twitter was "more entertaining" than any other source? That should definitely not be a goal of serious news sources. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe80b64bd7c879560f0000 JohnD Mon, 02 May 2011 06:00:22 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe80b64bd7c879560f0000 It appears my post was accurate now confirmed by <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2011/05/02/from-abbottabad-live-tweeting-the-bin-laden-attack/" target="_blank">http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2011/05/02/from-abbottabad-live-tweeting-the-bin-laden-attack/</a> So Kevin72, post never claimed to know the outcome of the reported death, just merely pointing out the reality the fact Twitter as a platform and the significance how little can go unnoticed today in this day and age with the use of Twitter. ie. sound of helicopter, weird time & place http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe548f49e2aeb332070000 Greg molson Mon, 02 May 2011 02:51:59 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe548f49e2aeb332070000 How many times before today have Twitter "sources" claimed Osama was dead? http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe51b149e2ae80262d0000 Kemp Mon, 02 May 2011 02:39:45 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe51b149e2ae80262d0000 According to the Times, the first scoop didn't come from that paper, the Washington Post or the ABC News. Keith Urbahn, once chief of staff for former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, posted this note on Twitter: "So I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden. Hot damn." Chalk another one up again for citizen journalism and micro blogging. Twitter already has a load of scoops to its credit. Some of the first reports and photographs about the heroic crash landing of a U.S. Airways commercial jet on New York's Hudson River came from non-professional journalists using Twitter. The first reports about the fatal shooting at Fort Hood in November circulated on Twitter. CNET, <a href="http://kempe.me/mLq2Gd" target="_blank">http://kempe.me/mLq2Gd</a> http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe4ce2ccd1d5b56d0c0000 green4sd Mon, 02 May 2011 02:19:14 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe4ce2ccd1d5b56d0c0000 Easy there fella. Let's not get caught up in the moment. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe499649e2ae021b090000 Rockefeller Mon, 02 May 2011 02:05:10 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe499649e2ae021b090000 Probably reached 450+ What about the BI twitter eh.. <a href="https://twitter.com/businessinsider" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/businessinsider</a> <a href="http://reference.encomer.com/q/Did_Osama_Bin_Laden_die_March_1_2011/DOBLDM121326013212324" target="_blank">http://reference.encomer.com/q/Did_Osama_Bin_Laden_die_March_1_2011/DOBLDM121326013212324</a> http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe4961cadcbbc165080000 kevin72 Mon, 02 May 2011 02:04:17 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe4961cadcbbc165080000 Calling Twitter a news source is ridiculous. The news was broken by real news sources, and people fucking tweeted about it. And it took about an hour for their tweets to surpass Khloe & Lamar and the 4-5 asinine hashtags of the day in trending topics. Don't insult David Gregory, Wolf Blitzed, and their professional kin by putting Twitter in the same category as them. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe453849e2ae011b000000 JohnD Mon, 02 May 2011 01:46:32 -0400 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4dbe453849e2ae011b000000 Acutal tweeting of the event of the take down...
