This summary of the insane rush to publish information before it has been properly vetted in the wake of the Boston Marathon Bombings is the opposite of what we do in science.
Another story on the same event can be found at the LA Times: http://articles.latimes.com/2013/apr/20/business/la-fi-boston-bombings-media-20130420
This should also serve as a cautionary tale for why we need to be skeptical of internet feeds, ESPECIALLY when it is an unfolding story or a single source. You need to reference peer reviewed literature. Not this kind of twittery, googley, mashable crud.
