It is a little talked about fact, but The Daily Telegraph’s journalist Claudine Beaumont wrote, just a day after the siege of Mumbai began, that Twitter and Flickr users not only broke the news first , but continued to provide instant, eyewitness accounts of the unfolding horror in a steady, invaluable stream of information. Onlookers uploaded photos to blogs, hostages inside the hotels tweeted about terrorists demanding to know nationalities of guests from the hotel reception . In addition, many hostages were calling their families and sending emails or text messages as and when they could. On Twitter, #Mumbai was trending, and this new trend of hashtags made it easier for families and journalists to receive blow by blow accounts of what was happening on the streets, in the train station, inside the buildings and hotels under attack . Twenty-four-hour news television cameras were trained on each location. This was a major news story, after all. And, intercepts of phone calls between terrorists and their handlers indicated they were watching the news too- informing attackers of details they gleaned from the reports and reminding them to persist, for the ‘glory’ of martyrdom awaited them — all in real time.
