There’s some more chatter about how Newsvine was able to “scoop” Digg on this story, which feels somewhat strange – to me, at the least – to focus on in light of such a brutal and gut punching news event.

Probably one of my favorite things to see was about 6 people try to change the same thing at once and then argue about why their change was *really* correct. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_shootings I noticed that the Wikipedia link today was updated very quickly and probably had the best information as people from all over edited it.
