Twitter is launching Wednesday a photo sharing service

What we (suppose to) know by now: it will be similar to TwitPic and YFrog. It could be the beginning of a new step in expanding the service and gaining more autonomy.
Let's wait till tomorrow.

Where you've been when Osama was killed?

Early 1950s Television SetImage by gbaku via Flickr
My personal story: for the history of the online world - I was sleeping. When I woke up, I didn't switch on the TV set or open the website of my favorite international newspapers. Not at all, I logged to my Twitter account and to my Facebook account. Since then - the last 5 hourst - I am permanently browsing social media for updates.

But ten years ago... when 11/9 occured, I was in the front of the TV. For a final confirmation, I called several of my friends from NYC asking them what it is all about... The whole operation lasted about 5 hours.

What about you? What kind of recent experience do you have with social media as a source of direct news and information?

Books about the 2.0 world

The latest titles, in German. As usual, I can't stop being surprised about the high level of theoretical discussions about social media, in comparison with the clumsy approached I've encountered very often in the real and practical playground.
