I find Google search to be an incredible tool 99% of the tie, but multiple times recently I've tried looking something realtime up ("holy crap there's a ton of smoke coming from X part of town", "what are those loudspeakers I can hear in the distance, is there a protest going on or something?"), and Google News doesn't turn up anything for quite some time. I'm not a particularly big fan of Twitter, but it pretty reliably will have a mention of something like that pretty quickly.
