Breaking News brings you the biggest stories as they happen, 24 hours a day, from hundreds of news sources across the globe. On many stories, we combine eyewitness accounts shared on social media from people at the scene. We publish on BreakingNews.com, @breakingnews on Twitter, Facebook and on three mobile apps.

This is a great article about twitter. And I really like the idea that it is a LOT about what we can DO with twitter data that makes it so compelling (all those great apps out there). "Websites that once saw their traffic dominated by Google search queries are seeing a growing number of new visitors coming from "passed links" at social networks like Twitter and Facebook. This is what the naysayers fail to understand: it's just as easy to use Twitter to spread the word about a brilliant 10,000-word New Yorker article as it is to spread the word about your Lucky Charms habit. Put those three elements together - social networks, live searching and link-sharing - and you have a cocktail that poses what may amount to the most interesting alternative to Google's near monopoly in searching."

This post provides great descriptions of a whole range of 3rd party Twitter connected apps.
