Editor's Notes
- The world we live in today. If everyone has a cell phone to document their daily lives, what can we do as journalists to document them? There are thousands of apps out there, at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference, sit back, charge your battery and no need to take notes because this will be available on slideshare afterwards.
- Get started with what a tool we know very well. Twitter
- Quick searches in Twitter apps.Be specific with searches, use hashtags, twitpic, youtu.be, yfrog, search early on – first 15-30 minutes of breaking news situations , save your searches for faster recalls
- Most will, of course, remember that a Twitter user had the first shot of the Hudson landing. Thanks to the proliferation and ease of this tool, a guy on a ferry spread this news around the world.Be specific with searches, use hashtags, twitpic, youtu.be, yfrog, search early on – first 15-30 minutes of breaking news situations , save your searches for faster recalls

- Sort of an instagram for video, share and follow short burst of video. Tout (15 secs) with white labeling, on web, iTunes, Android. A bit more established and professional than VineWSJ reporters use Tout for mobile video reports on World StreamVine – Twitter rpoduct, 6 seconds long. Very new. Lots o’ porn
- You can search which of your connections are nearby, as well as other banjo users- about 4 million – Example: Nearby bomb scare, loggin in and searching for people in that area, and reaching out to them. You can also see how you and that person may be connected. Requires smartphone
