geofeedia is that you can actually define the area that you want to monitor in realtime and scroll over each one of those posts. so, each one of those little posts coming up right now is me scrolling over to see what people are tweeting at that moment. >> it is extraordinary, al. i mean, this really is the rise of citizen journalism and crowd-sourcing investigations, as errol said moments ago. was the information you're getting in realtime accurate? is this a reminder of that old adage that all of us are smarter than some of us? >> well, it was accurate, but not necessarily true. people were seeing things and they were interpreting what they were seeing, and i believe that is the real value of journalists, is not just to tell us what is going on, but what does it mean and what does it not mean and just sort through all of these photos to figure out what they actually mean. because i have to tell you that initially, there was a lot of misinformation about what eyewitnesses said they saw. they said they saw it
