As some of you may have heard there was a plane crash in Denver, CO over the weekend. There were a few of you who knew a whole lot sooner than the rest of us. The first thing Mike Wilson, a passenger on Continental Airlines Flight 1404, did as soon as he was safely off the plane was hit his Twitter, and I am sure he is happy he did. The airplane skidded off a Denver International Airport runway and slid almost half a mile on Saturday night. I read about his tweeting in the Washington Post, which is quite far from Mike's hometown of Denver, CO. Since then he has received a lot of attention and fielded a number of interviews.
Twitter's micro-blogging is sweeping the nation. Twenty percent of Twitter followers have signed up in the past 60 days. Micro-blogging allows people to show anyone interested what they are doing right now. In the world of reality television, this take reality to a whole new level. Thank you Mike and thank you Twitter.
