This brave new world is fascinating. I first heard about it by searching Twitter for #prop8, where I found a link to http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2010/08/judge_vaughn_walker_hands_vict.html, which at the time said only that "according to a source who has seen the decision..." Meanwhile Twitter was exploding with people repeating the rumor, while I watched a live ABC feed of people standing outside the courthouse awaiting the announcement. Apparently none of them were checking Twitter.
