Twitter is not even 6 years old but has become a major source of breaking news.  When many of the major news stories of the last year have broken, we have found ourselves on Twitter to get up-to-the-minute news.

Shortly after 8:00pm ET tonight, I received a text message from Chad that Whitney Houston had died.  Of course, I didn’t believe it at first and immediately opened Safari to check online to see if was really news.  But, instead of checking any of the traditional news sites, I found my fingers typing twitter.com and then doing a search for Whitney Houston.  Within minutes, all of my trending topics were also related to the news.

We talked yesterday about the dangers of SOPA and PIPA, and many websites (including ours) went dark today to protest these dangerous bills.
