I find it interesting that the momentary almost total communications disruption made it possible for different places to get information "in the wrong order" - BBC, which I respect greatly and normally follow on the web, was stuck on "2 deaths" for quite some time.
This also makes me wonder when the first big event will happen where Wikipedia of all places will have the (best) scoop. I suspect it will happen at some point, due to it having many advantages over other channels in these situations.
