The rise of Twitter has spawned a number of Twitter related startups. One such Twitter related startup is BreakingTweets.com.
Founded in the beginning of 2009, Breaking Tweets says that their philosophy is “hyperlocal gone global.” The setup of their website uses tweets from Twitter to help expand the view of global events. It also allows gives world news multiple voices to get all different sides of the stories.
Instead of bringing in tweets automatically, Breaking Tweets has a group of editors that select and arrange the Tweets in a way that a news story is formed. In addition to tweets, outbound links are present to other stories that help give additional information.
BreakingTweets.com got a lot of publicity recently with the happenings in Iran. If you tried to follow the Iran news on Twitter, it was a bit confusing and a lot of the flow was flooded with spam and shouting. Breaking Tweets, on the other hand, was able to find the useful tweets and put them together in a useful manner.
Overall, Breaking Tweets is a Twitter related startup to keep an eye on.
