A new journalism tool? Twitter?

[NewsMan]

So, check out that last post. I did all those mini reviews in less than five minutes.
Using my Nokia N95 cell phone, and TwitterGram. I have a phone number to call, hear a beep, and can record. Then I take a photo and upload that automatically to Flickr. Finally I get back to my computer, write a blog post, copy and paste some HTML, and we have a nice set of reviews.
Imagine if we were at a news event, like, say, a fire. I could quickly gather people’s impressions. Give my own. Take some pictures. And then stitch together a blog page with all of the important info.
If you have a video ready phone you can even upload video (my Nokia N95 does that, sorry, iPhones don’t yet do video).
Thanks to Ev Williams and Jack Dorsey for Twitter. To Stewart ####erfield and Catrina Fake for Flickr. And Dave Winer for TwitterGram.
