Other events that have been posted on Twitter include the plane that landed in the Hudson River recently, the terrorist attacks in Bombay (in both of these cases, regular folks at the scene with PDAs or at desks with computers or laptops tweeted what they were seeing live -- 'way ahead of professional news), and the Mars Rovers (NASA tweeted the Rovers' results). Cool, huh? They just released the transcript of audio tapes from the Hudson River plane crash and folks are Tweeting that even as I blog.
