The revolution will be… twittered?

So tweet no. 839088619 is a historic one. NASA actually uses Twitter to communicate the first contact with extraterrestrial water ice. And the rest of their @marsphoenix twitter account is pretty good too.

So radio waves showed us that mankind was able to launch a satellite into space with Sputnik, television brought the moon landing into our homes and now the proof that there is real water ice on Mars is twittered? Phew, the twitter staff should better get their servers working reliably, if they’re that important now…
