For instance, the night of the Wendy Davis filibuster, I never would have known what was happening if I hadn't been on Twitter. As we watched the clock count down to midnight together, I got chills. I've never experienced a legislative vote like that and I shared it with so many people because of Twitter.

Same for the aviation industry and just what's going on in the world. I know what's happening pretty much in real time and well before the big corporate media outlets get ahold of it. By the time you see a story on the national news it's already many days old (and sometimes the story has already changed dramatically)
