We the media

Terry Heaton’s post ”Informing each other of Heston’s death” rings so true for me.

After a brief separation from Twitter, (it was me, not you, Twitter) I recently reactivated my account. Now that there is a groundswell of local users, the service is more viable and more fun.

Heaton notes that within hours of Heston’s death, word of mouth was the means of informing many people of his death - myself included.

I found out about his passing from jkennett via Twitter.

Heaton says, “Like it or not, mainstream media, this is the way it is.”
