Caksf felt the quake 55 minutes before it happened? Twitter is pretty cool.

No. Five min after. Or at least that's when the tweet was.

3:25 isn't 55 minutes before 3:20. It's 5 minutes after.

6.0 isn't small.

Compared to some it is.

Compared to some it is.A 6.0 is not small, by any definition. Sorry, East Coaster. :p

Did anybody say small? He said Nobiggie. And 6.0s are frequently "Nobiggie" in the sense that they don't matter much.

And I swear when I posted the OP said the first tweet was at 2:25. But it may be tied into my calendrical retardation.

And of course there's no Biggie. He got shot a long time ago.

And I swear when I posted the OP said the first tweet was at 2:25.Knowing the OP'er, it is entirely possible that he made a change. He is know to do things like that.

Who me?

Couldn't be.

If I made a change after another user posted it would show up as an edit.

:D

If I made a change after another user posted it would show up as an edit.Actually, I think the "Edited" message is strictly a function of time: it only shows up if you edit like (guess on time) 10 minutes after the original post.

The earthquake must have been small because the next tweet from CNN was, "... eating cereal."
