Means of being in the loop 9 Jul 2007

Quoting The Obvious? via the LIFT lab (emphasis mine):

When I learned, via twitter, of the car bomb that didn't go off in London last night my first thought was "oh well".

I first heard of 9/11 via katastro.fi mailing list. I remember someone commenting, that "CNN's surely getting lots of hits now". I was at the Uni then. There was no television in the faculty. We gathered into the lobby's kitchen around an old Macintosh with a shabby TV tuner. It only tuned in a Swedish news channel. This unlikely mediation of the disaster made it even more disturbing.
