It's another fascinating application, and had never occurred to me.

But respectively, I think I am more enlightened when the news breaking on these new media sources like twitter and your blog are the stories that CNN or CBC isn't also breaking into 5 minutes later and covering for the rest of the day like the Bhutto story. The stuff we ordinarily wouldn't be hearing about from "old" media.
