Following the Tweets

Being a news junkie takes on a whole new meaning -- and a lot more time -- in the age of Twitter.

I first read about the Tucson shootings from Twitter, as tweet after tweet streamed on my iPhone. At one point, after retweeting some messages, speculation was so high that I myself tweeted late yesterday afternoon: "Let us let facts -- all of which we don't have -- before rushing to conclusions. Lot of projection going on. #Giffords."

Here's a link to my stream, and it is just that, a stream of thoughts, mostly retweeted messages from all corners of the chattering Web.

As I wrote to the head of the JCom School at USU; some things just shouldn't be instant- coffee and information. He had commented on the initial Tweets that reported the death of Representative Gifford.
