Apr 12Twitter Temblor
Count me in, too. A major earthquake has just struck Mexico City, and, like prominent blogger Robert Scoble, I heard the news first through Twitter, the relatively new instant message/mini-blog service. Twitter was alive with reports moments after the quake — even before USGS and other authorities made their initial reports.
Even now, the conventional media is just picking up on this story. Checking moments ago, only the L.A. Times has mention of the reports — CNN, ABCNews, and others are still chewing on the Imus story.
I’ll follow up on this later with more on Twitter, but for now, take a look at Scobleizer’s blog for more info.

Wow, I had no idea that Twitter could be used in that way, though when you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for writing about this.
