Obviously it is a great tool for something like an attack where you want a lot of news and information fast and news outlets haven't picked it up yet. The problem is that it may not be accurate and getting info from one person may make the situation seem better or worse than it actually is because they are not getting all of the information available. I do agree with one quote that some information is better than no information at all. I think that there are two sides to using twitter.
