angel island on fire: twitter as confirmation?
I just looked out the kitchen window, over the top of my neighbor’s house, to see… Angel Island on fire!
(Update: Jeff has posted much better photos over on his site.)
There’s nothing about it on television news at the moment (~9:20pm), nor on sfgate.com or kron4.com. Yet, several Twitter users are clearly seeing the same thing I’m seeing, as the screenshot of the search shows below.
I’m not sure I’m ready to agree with the claim that Twitter can compete (in some ways) with AP and other news wires, but I can now see its utility in connecting you to others who are sharing a common experience.
