Twitter Beats FoxNews.com: Bayh for VP!

I am sitting here in Paradise Cafe and I get a TWEET alert from a friend, Brad Ward. His tweet process is below.


evan Bayh is VP according to friend who works in DC. Sent me a text at 5:33pm.
2 minutes ago from mobile web

I went to fox news to verify the TWEET. Fox didn’t have anything listed at all. Twitter beat Fox News. AWESOME! Talk about the power of social media.

This should be a lesson to everyone about the merits of checking sources. Apparently we had a prank pulled on us. Well, so much for that.

    Rest assured that the next time I get out to DC, Kyle will be punched. Hard.

    You were straight to it though. We would have been rockstars for breaking the news.
