Getting started with Twitter

Do you remember where you first heard news about a plane in New York crashing into the Hudson?

The crash happened at approximately 3:28pm EST. Minutes later, a "tweet" with a photo of the crash scene appeared on Twitter:

Real time communication on the web has arrived.
