A lot of people like to bitch and moan about how in the age of realtime information, the stream moves too quickly and as a result, there's a decent chance of inaccurate news being spread. There's no question it's an issue, but with the situation in Egypt, we're once again seeing the overwhelming upside of this realtime data spread that makes services like Twitter so powerful. And just look at the flip side. The above image shows the frontpage of a newspaper that was delivered this morning. There are hundreds more like it around the country. Many, many people still get their news this way. They woke up this morning, opened the paper and got information that is so old that it's now totally inaccurate. It's ridiculous.
