Twitter Lists Emerge As Online Coverage Tool for Fort Hood ShootingNews organizations are rushing today to keep online readers and viewers up-to-date on details and new developments surrounding Thursday afternoon's shooting at Fort Hood Army Base in Texas in which 13 people were killed. Beyond the expected deluge of articles and videos, news organizations are deploying a brand-new tool: Twitter Lists, the microblogging site's new feature that was rolled out last week. Among the news organizations that have quickly compiled Fort Hood-related Twitter Lists are: New York Times: http://twitter.com/nytimes/fort-hood-shootings CNN: http://twitter.com/cnnbrk/fort-hood NBC's The Today Show: http://twitter.com/todayshow/forthood Los Angeles Times: http://twitter.com/LATimes/fort-hood-shootings Washington Post: http://twitter.com/washingtonpost/forthood Dallas Morning News: http://twitter.com/DallasCrime/fort-hood-shootings The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/05/fort-hood-shooting---live_n_347623.html The New York Times Twitter List in particular is proving very popular, with 400 followers (and counting). In contrast, the Washington Post's list has only three followers as of this writing. Also, the Austin-American Statesman created a separate Twitter account (not a list) specifically for the Fort Hood shooting that now has more than 3,400 followers. Update: The Statesman has created a Twitter List from its new @FtHoodShootings Twitter account: http://twitter.com/FtHoodShootings/fort-hood We'll add more Lists as we find them.
