Twitter is becoming the canary in the news coalmine. It stands to reason: if you’ve just gone through a major event, you are sure to want to update your friends about it. If enough people are chattering about an earthquake at the same time, that’s an immediate indication of a major news story.

Definitely agree with this, and experienced it in action during the recent UK earthquake, and also when Heath Ledger died.
