Having said that, both are great for getting stories and content out right away which is the inspiring thing. Jim, you may want to try playing with the Nokia N95 – I’ve used it to cover large scale events as well and posted the results (with examples) here as it has a better camera than the iPhone but also allows for video (and external keyboards – though the new Nokia N97 has one built in).

I was kind of amazed at the number of tweets that I miss. If the username is not in the beginning of the tweet, it functions as an ordinary update. That's something that needs a fix. I really enjoyed your post. It appears like Twitter consistently beats all other media at breaking news. When the recent attacks started in Gaza, it seemed like it took a long time for anything other than twitter to report it. I'll make sure to subscribe so I don't miss any more of your future posts.
