It’s been a tragic day in the celebrity world with the death of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett and Twitter played a vital role in breaking the news story before the major news networks did. Yet again, one more reason why Twitter is the leading edge in breaking news. What are your thoughts?
Also, Apple updated all Apple TVs and the coolest update has to do with the free App Store’s app called Remote (for the iPhone and iPod Touch). It allows you to control your Apple TV via your iPhone by the touch of a finger finger strokes. It’s quite impressive.
Did you know Palm Pre users have downloaded over 1 million apps in Palm’s app store – and they just launched a month or two ago! Also, iPhone 3GS users break a YouTube record – YouTube has seen a 400% increase in uploads since the 3GS launched – the first smart phone that allows recording video and uploading it directly to the web.

Hey Jeff, love your podcast. I think twitter is great for fast breaking news. Only problem is sometimes you get these fake news reports like fake reports of other people dying, which did happern. As long as you use some common sense when it comes to what you believe or not, than twitter is great for fast breaking news.
I use twitter daily and love it.
