Buffalo Plane Crash – Social Media (1) Traditional Media (0)

My thoughts go out to the families affected by this tragedy

You probably heard about the Continental Airlines flight that crashed near Buffalo few hours ago.

What’s impressive from the communication point of view it’s to see that the information about the crash spread much faster through social media channels rather on traditional ones. Have a look at the following tweets:

Keith Burtis, a Best Buy community manager that lives in the area posts a tweet about the crash

CNN 2 hours later

Traditional media taking advantage of web channels…

(approximately…) 11 hours later CNN tweets to report on the news

Interested in hearing your thoughts. Join the conversation with comments or via Twitter, Jaiku, FriendFeed, and Seesmic.
