Interesting display of the power of blogging today as our own Ephraim Schwartz (channeled via Mark Jones) reported on the bomb scare at the Moscone.  The first report hit our site at 2:42pm, over two hours ago.  Mark Jones and the news team continued following the story through with other posts (1, 2, 3). Most news reports I've seen (like this one) say that the evacuation began about 3pm, so Mark and team were ahead of the curve, as good journalists should be.  Had this been a serious safety issue (and it doesn't appear to that it was), this kind of early warning could have saved some lives.  Nice work, Ephraim and Mark.
