A colleague and I were in the middle of a new biz presentation, showing our new client (yes, we won the account) a live demonstration on the power of Twitter. And as we pulled up the screen, everyone in the room saw the tweets in real time that MJ had died. Weird to find out in such a social media kind of way. You are right -- it's a whole new world.

They were first because they didn't necessarily wait for official confirmation. I don't know if this is good or bad but it's definitely the way of the future.
