A plane down in the Hudson River. Who has the first photo? A member of Twitter, Janis Krums, uploaded his picture onto Twitpic. Amazing. So amazing that MSNBC and CNN had the photo on the air almost immediately. So amazing that Twitpic crashed and others started sharing the photo onto Flickr. This is fascinating to watch. CNN interviewed Krums only 30 minutes or so after he posted this photo.

Here's a collection of great links (I'll update as I go):
