Every month, when the US jobs report is announced, journalists race to tweet the number as fast as they can. Many investors, meanwhile, pay lots of money for fast access to the data so they can trade on the reaction.
Today, though, they all appear to have been scooped by a tweet from the custodian of American employment data, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This tweet was sent at exactly one second past 8:30 a.m. EDT, when the number is officially released.

I feel like my use of social media, it’s not completely consigned to Twitter, but I certainly use it more than any other social medium. But Twitter’s not the only way people are consuming information through social media, and I think that’s something worth reinforcing again and again. Reddit got a lot of attention for the Aurora shootings. I think social media is a good thing for journalists because I think it makes us all more aware, it’s just that simple. I think more information is better, and better than less, certainly. And I think it actually diversifies the streams of information. I think I am much more likely to learn about something through Twitter than I would through my conventional means of consumption. I’m going to be surprised, I am going to to read or be pointed to find out something I had not heard before.
