Chatter: Is the Tiger Woods story an example of Twitter’s real-time superiority?

  • That appar­ently took 45 minutes to get up. They could have called anyone on Twitter 30 minutes ago to get those details from what officials were saying based on what they had already read thanks to Twitter and Google.
  • TechCrunch colum­nist MG Siegler • Comment­ing on the break­ing nature of the Tiger Woods crash. @BreakingNews had it 45 minutes before any mainstream news source. When CNN had it, they had zero infor­ma­tion. This is because they needed to source it, whereas @BreakingNews didn’t. Another inter­est­ing note from the story – BNO News, which currently runs @BreakingNews, will let MSNBC run the feed start­ing next month. Expect it to start sucking at that point. source
