Our office is 100' from the Governor Hotel, site of the possible hostage event that looked very real this morning, but later turned out to be a non-event. The SWAT team was getting dressed out and armed right outside our window. Very tempting to Twitter a photo of all the armament. Good idea? What if the bad guy is on the Internet and sees what the good guys are up to? I decided to upload just a bland shot of a police car blocking traffic, and not the shot shown below.
Here in "Mayberry," it was a mini-lesson in how, and how fast, news is getting pushed out. It's also a time to consider thniking twice about what, and when, we post information for the world to see.
