There's been discussion of the role played by Twitter in the reporting of the Mumbai attacks and of the way that we made use of it on the BBC News website. During the crisis, we monitored this microblogging service, along with the material being filed by our own reporters and a wide range of other sources, and referenced or linked to all of these on a "live updates" page as the events unfolded. Our aim with these pages (we did something similar during the US election) is to provide news, analysis, description and comment in short snippets as soon as it becomes available.

Attentats de Bombay: Twitter, un média au cœur de l’Horreur
CNN a mis du temps à réagir et à diffuser les informations concernant ce terrible attentat à Bombay en Inde qui a fait plus de 80 morts. Cette nuit, les premiers témoignages sont apparus sur Twitter en temps réel et au cœur du drame, puis des images ont été publiée s sur Flickr. Twitter ne fournit certes pas de l’information en profondeur ou toujours vérifiée mais c’est là qu’apparaissent en premier les nouvelles, dès qu’un événement majeur se produit.
Twitter a gagné ses lettres de noblesse.
