In the mold of Breaking Tweets, the philosophy behind this site is "hyperlocal gone global." There is an emphasis on what is happening in a specific place at a specific time and looks at how people are reacting to that event(s) in the area.
Tweets are manually selected by editors and arranged to tell a story in a journalistic style, including transition paragraphs. Tweets are essentially treated as quotes. Those with pictures, videos, and/or eyewitness accounts from the scene are priority, while tweets with instant reaction to the news will also be selected.
Sites on the Breaking Tweets Network seek to prove the value of Twitter as both a breaking news source and journalistic platform.
