News coverage – social networking leading the race?
TweetI ‘heard’ the news, long before it was aired on Television or published on online news channels.
My source was not reliable, but the news did turn out to be true. I saw the news flashing on Twitter and Facebook. People awaiting confirmation from news media on Michael Jackson’s death had numerous – almost ‘live’- status changes.
This got me thinking, was it the timing when I logged in to the networking site or was there more to the way I first heard the news?
I did a little investigation and this is what I found.
Word of mouth still the most effective means to transmit information, eh!
