That’s neat! Now I have to finish watching this episode. I stopped when I realized it featured a character who really bugs me, but I shall marshall through to see how Twitter helps solve the crime. At least thanks to TiVo I can fast-forward through all the extremely uncomfortable parts.

It was great watching that clip. I’ve only gotten into Twitter in the last couple of days. Before that I didn’t know anything about it, so I loved being able to watch the clip and understand what was happening. I feel so in touch with the modern culture!

The amazing thing is, that Twitter is up and running when the CSI folks go to the site.
