I'm not a big fan of twitter, generally finding it full of banal hourly updates, but after reading the twitter updates of journalists and bloggers in Tahrir, I'm finding twitter tittilating, and vital to how the Egyptian uprising and ensuing events will be documented now and historically.

Even in violent and dangerous circumstances, the public can follow moment to moment updates, which creates a narrative of personal experience and informs the public during events that could otherwise go unreported.

Check out this twitter, it is regularly updated and vividly descriptive:

I am likely one of the last people in the blog-o-sphere to figure out that twitter has media value, but such is my latent tech-development.
