The 24-hour news channels just can’t compete.

@mfocazio: I hear about #Flight1549 via a Facebook Status Update, head to Twitter first, Flickr 2nd, Youtube 3rd…Sorry CNN, not fast enough anymore.

@sunmoss: Just felt the need to retweet this amazing pic from the crash. Twitterer on a ferry. Over 10K views already. http://twitpic.com/135x

Photo by: @jkrums: “There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.”
