The times they are a-changing.

A Twitter user published the first picture from the scene of the New York-Hudson River plane landing.

The caption reads “There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.”

This is freaky.

The BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones has written an excellent article about the use of Twitter as a newswire – which appropriately enough I came across when a friend “twittered” it.

After having been heavily sarcastic about Twitter, I’m actually starting to enjoy it now – especially after installing the Mozilla plugin Twitbin, which makes it so much more user-friendly.

If you really want to, you can follow me being rather dull on Twitter…
