How News Happens Now

Throngs Gather in City as News Spreads at the Speed of Technology - New York Times. It was odd - the way it went down. I saw the receptionist's IM message line which said, "Yes. I've heard about Heath..."

Addicts come in many guises, but the most pernicious are substance-abuse abusers — those reckless, incorrigible souls who cannot stop bingeing on the weaknesses of the rich and semi-famous.

It is a crazy world we live in with scum like Perez Hilton pole-vaulting to the heights of micro-celebrity while the 'talent' (Britney, Lindsay) implode publicly.
