Twitter for News

Live on Wikipedia: Jennifer Dunn dies: "At 9:12 a.m., minutes before P-I reporter Neil Modie learned about Jennifer Dunn's death, and before it had hit any news site or could be found on a Google News search, the former Congresswoman's death had already been reported on Wikipedia.

Its source? It was added at 9:19 -- a breaking news alert from Twitter."

hey twitter, stop gloating over being fast to report someones death.

I hope I'll be the one to report your death when you run out of VC money.

Really, this is a person who died. If you're going to mention it and promote yourself, please at the very least include some condolences or some form of respect.
