Ok, its official: WebTvPrep, you are making me sad.

EDIT: You even misspell the word “Speakers” on the top of your “Speackers” page. STOP KILLING THE LITTLE CHILDREN.

This hurts my soul.

Breaking news hits social networks in 3 mins; mainstream news sites in 20 mins.

I’d like to better understand what percentage of that “breaking news” that hits social nets is incorrect. Is the 17 minute delta the price we pay for accuracy and actionability?

I’d be interested to know too.
