Transmission speed
An interesting analysis (through the link) of the transmission of the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden through social media, first as rumor, then as fact. I admit, I do not get much out of Twitter, probably because my settings do not push feeds to any of my devices -- I have too much stuff coming my way as it is. But interesting nonetheless.

It's interesting that TV beat social media. I was watching FOX and they reported DOD sourced rumors Bin Laden's death at about 10:20, minutes before the famous Keith Urbahn tweet (BTW, I keep confusing this Keith Urbahn, the Rumsfeld COS, with the other Keith Urban, the country music star!).
