Current State Of The Tweet:

As the Twitter community still wobbles and reels on the news of Tim Russert’s passing, the tides have turned a bit, and the community has started talking about the odes to Russert from the journalists themselves. Case in point, Keith Olbermann, who delivered a teary-eyed note of sympathy for his former collegue.

Twitscoop.com is also picking up some noise about Songbird, a desktop media player, which just released its new 0.6 software version.

 

Twitter Trends of The Day:

Tim Russert attack: Well-known journalist and the host of MSNBC’s Meet The Press, Tim Russert, passed away today at the MSNBC studios due to a heart attack. The Twitter community is both shocked and saddened by this news. Many people have admitted tearing up after hearing of the passing and hearing journalistic eulogies. He was 58 years old.

Kelly verdict: R&B singer R. Kelly was pronounced not guilty on all charges of child pornography after an video allegedly showed him performing sexual acts with a minor, including water sport (sexual urination). No word on whether the shock of this ridiculous verdict had anything to do with Tim Russert’s untimely death.

Holland France: Holland defeated France 4-1 in a Euro 2008 soccer match-up. The consensus on Twitter reads something like “FUCK YEAH, HOLLAND WOOOHOOOO!” Of course, there are a fair share of people who just don’t give a shit, but displayed their Dutch pride anyway. Damn front runners.
