Courntey Lowery has brought up many different ideas about Twitter in this article called An Explosion Prompts Rethinking of Twitter and Facebook. The biggest thing that I found that she points out is that Twitter opens many new possibilities for journalists. She talks about how the building explosion in Montana and how reporters used Twitter to convey messages quickly and efficiently. They even used the photo capabilities of Twitter to help explain what they were trying to say about the explosion. This was the only means of communication covering the explosion in Montana and for Twitter to be used so effectively shows how much new communication technologies are taking over the world of journalism. 

This isn't the only time we've heard about Twitter being used to report the news and I'm sure this isnt going to be the last time.
