Twitterfall.com  is an amazing way to limit Twitter posts and pictures to a news situation like the Boston Marathon. I attached a picture of an example of how it's being used. You can use it just by logging into Twitter. If you're reporting on a story, this is definitely a tool that would be helpful.

Broadcastify.com: It's where you can monitor live audio streams of emergency responders during a disaster. I captured a few images for you so you can see how it's used in a situation like the Boston Marathon. 

An example of how one picture goes viral in a disaster situation. This could possibly be someone watching the marathon from his roof, or it could be a suspect. Will we ever find out?
