Crime #Washooting
Posted by Dominic Holden on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 11:10 AM
The hash tag on Twitter to follow the manhunt for Maurice Clemmons, suspected of killing the four officers in Lakewood yesterday, is #Washooting. Techflash has a short article on how Twitter is changing the way citizens and media cover a crime story.

@4, that helps, but it doesn't exclude the hundreds of super-helpful posts that are left, like the many, many people commenting that the police are looking for a killer, or that the suspect has eluded the law so far, or that Huckabee once granted Clemmons clemency, or that someone said "Beacon Hill", or that Twitter is changing everything.
