"... Twitter isn’t the place for solid facts yet - the situation is way too disorganized. But it’s where the news is breaking ..." This is a useful insight with respect to your comments ( I was following #mumbai on twitter for a while and I have to say, It was more noise than signal ) So it shows the communications bit is there just the switched on person on the ground is not. Consider how real news organisations achieve this. My source of local news happened to have an ex-journalist in India to do a phone interview ~ http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/news/audio/news-audio/200811/20081127-chaudry-iv.mp3 http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/news/audio/news-audio/200811/200... So Twitter is good for a short bit of info but is pretty useless to get across important information.
