It's privately-held & venture-backed. Until the Iranian elections most speculated that Google would buy it for its ability to do real-time searches. It's like watching a piano prodigy mature into a mathematician. As a business person I wonder how Twitter’s fortunes will change after this? It’s privately-held & venture-backed.

There may indeed be a lack of good footage, but in this day and age, there appears to be a greater lack of creativity among the news channels. This could be another step toward disproving the famed George Costanza dictum--just because it's on TV doesn't mean people will watch it.

It is a good case study in the futility of adopting social media tools just for the sake of it and in the importance of authenticity.
