Politics: Is the Tiger Woods story an example of Twitter’s real-time superiority?

  • That apparently took 45 minutes to get up. They could have called anyone on Twitter 30 minutes ago to get those details from what officials were saying based on what they had already read thanks to Twitter and Google.
  • TechCrunch columnist MG Siegler • Commenting on the breaking nature of the Tiger Woods crash. @BreakingNews had it 45 minutes before any mainstream news source. When CNN had it, they had zero information. This is because they needed to source it, whereas @BreakingNews didn’t. Another interesting note from the story – BNO News, which currently runs @BreakingNews, will let MSNBC run the feed starting next month. Expect it to start sucking at that point. source

Tech: If you have a killer Twitter product, polish it so Biz Stone buys it

  • That is something we are definitely interested in. We made an acquisition last year that turned out to be an outstandingly good decision.
  • Twitter co-founder Biz Stone • Discussing the possibility of making more acquisitions for the site. Nothing specific is on the horizon, but considering the massive popularity of many of the apps out there, Twitter might want to consider buying one. Our vote? Echofon, just so it can change its name back to TwitterFox. Echofon is such a stupid name, and TwitterFox so isn’t! source
