Never before has a crisis unleashed so much raw data — and so little interpretation — than what we saw as the deadly terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India unfolded. Amid the real-time video feeds (kudos to CNN International), cellphone pictures, and tweets, we were able to keep abreast of what seemed to be happening, and where it was going down, all the while not really knowing those other key, canonical components of journalistic information gathering — namely, who or why.
You’ve got to add to this the immense influence of Twitter. In the past few days, I’ve seen a slew of stories pointing out how Twitter was a key source of real-time updates on the attacks, to the point that Indian authorities asked people to stop posting to the microblogging service (for fear that they might be giving away strategic information to the terrorists).
Twitter was an ongoing source of updates and commentary on the terrorist attacks. (Click picture to enlarge, and to see 2 additional screens.)

Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata, whose company owns the Taj hotel, discusses this week’s attacks in Mumbai. |
The Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, India, temporarily increased security after being warned of a possible terrorist attack, the chairman of the company that owns the hotel said Saturday. |
“It’s ironic that we did have such a warning, and we did have some measures,” Tata said, without elaborating on the warning or when security measures were enacted. “People couldn’t park their cars in the portico, where you had to go through a metal detector.” |
However, Tata said the attackers did not enter through the entrance that has a metal detector. Instead, they came in a back entrance, he said.  Watch Tata discuss the threats » |

Sen. Hillary Clinton will be nominated to be Barack Obama’s secretary of state, sources say.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President-elect Barack Obama is planning to nominate at least three key members of his national security team at an event in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday, including Sen. Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, according to two Democratic officials.
“The triumvirate of Gates, Clinton and Jones to lead Obama’s ‘national security team’ instills great confidence at home and abroad and further strengthens the growing respect for the president-elect’s courage and ability to exercise sound judgment in selecting the ‘best and the brightest’ to implement our nation’s security policies,” Warner said.
