I use twitter in various ways to get breaking news. Following anything from NPR to FOXNEWS generates general breaking news tweets. Those follows look great in flipboard on the iPad because it expands the linked stories and pics in a magazine style. I use tweetdeck on the desktop and get additional notifications for specific topics setup in search columns.

Which brings up a question; anyone have a favorite app for really quick breaking news?

'm pretty partial to BBC News, USA Today and FT Mobile Editions.

All free so far and sufficient for my uses.
