Introducing Firstpost: Raghav Bahl | Firstpost: "For a while now, the news-tweet has been mightier than the sword. Or, staying within the 21st century metaphor, mightier than the drone. Punched into an invisible digital cloud, the cyber-word pings on your iPad, pops in your Galaxy, glides into your Blackberry, burrows into your desktop.

Once upon a time, in the pre-digital age, news would just happen, and someone would report it. You would receive it passively and mute your instinctive response and move on, not knowing how your friends or adversaries – or strangers – had reacted to it, if at all."
